So I am literally minutes away from leaving Milan to go to Dubai to compete in the 2011 edition of the Hult Global Business Challenge. It is an amazing contest that invites the best MBA programs from around the world to solve the world's problems. This year the contest is partnering with Bill Clinton and Water.org to bring us the challenge of solving the water problem. There are over a billion people on the earth without access to clean, fresh, and safe drinking water. This must be changed, and it is up to us to do so.
If you would like to help us, e-mail me at jlpeverini@gmail.com, the Competition begins Saturday (Dubai time) and we are allowed to use any and all available outside resources. Read more about the challenge here http://hultglobalcasechallenge.com/challenge2011.html
or read more about the issue here http://www.idrc.ca/cp/ev-31102-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html - although this article relates specifically to Africa, water is a scarce resource in every continent, especially Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
