Highlights from the Aid and International Development Forum (AIDF)

Last week TIDES exhibited at the Aid & International Development Forum (AIDF) at the Washington Convention Center in DC. We had a great time at the show and continued to spread the word about the TIDES project. TIDES helped AIDF organize the Experiential Zone, an interactive area which allowed visitors to experience elements of relief and development. Inside the Experiential Zone, Mark Prutsalis, President & CEO of Sahana Software Foundation, talked about crisismapping and shared some of the stories from Haiti. Additionally, Pat McArdle,Board member of Solar Cookers International, discussed the benefits of solar cooking on the panel "How to Address Extreme Poverty & Hunger". Special thanks to AIDF and everyone inside the TIDES Pavillion for a great show!
