Save the Wood, Clean the Air!

Sharifa Batts, Program Vice President

We are looking forward to a different but timely topic for the February meeting. Eric Witten will be our speaker and present on his journey and charitable work in Kenya. He will explain his experience and his success working in Kenya and living with the Maasai people for 6 1/2 months during the lock down for COVID. He is an engineer and is using his skills to drill water wells for the Maasai people in Kenya. He will also speak about sending girls like Karen (see photo) to school, saving the forests, and reducing carbon dioxide. Karen gathers wood to use for cooking.

Eric Witten has a B.S. in Engineering from UCLA and has 40 years of experience in Engineering and Project Management in the upstream oil industry. Eric is also a Long Beach City Commissioner serving on the Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation.
