This District 5450 event with the funny name is totally worth your time to attend. WASH stands for Water Sanitation Hygiene, and the WASH Symposium gives you the opportunity to gather with other local Rotarians who are interested in projects in this important focus area of Rotary.
This fall's WASH Symposium is on Saturday, October 19 from 8:00 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. at the gorgeous CSU Spur Hydro building, part of the National Western complex near downtown Denver. The Keynote Speaker, William Kamkwamba, is a Malawian inventor, engineer and author. He gained renown in his country in 2001 when he built a wind turbine from bicycle parts to power a water pump in his village. Since this invention as a young boy, he obtained a scholarship and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2014. He co-authored his memoir with Bryan Mealer, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind; in 2019 this was adapted into a Netflix film.
