The new edition of the “Selwyn” magazine includes the latest news from the college, and items about the activities of alumni at home and abroad. Its cover story features the work of Joanne Beale (SE 2005) who is working to improve water supplies, hygiene and sanitation in Mozambique. She is there with her husband Andrew Beale (also SE 2005) who is mentoring academics and researchers in the country.
Joanne tells us about the battle to reduce the terrible child mortality rates in Mozambique; and how she harnesses the leadership of local volunteers to get out the message about health standards and the importance of clean water. The project has been supported in recent months by donations from those attending Selwyn Chapel. Our homepage photo shows one of the simple taps that are being installed near to latrines to improve hygiene; and Joanne is pictured below advising people how to put right a pump that had not been working for 15 years.
Elsewhere in the newsletter, the subjects include the legal battle around the WikiLeaks disclosures by Edward Snowden; the quest for new generation lighting; and the Selwynites who are transforming the way we write on mobile devices. Paper copies are currently being distributed, or you can read the magazine online here along with our other publications:
