Solve water shortage by collecting rainwater??? Lack of rain is the whole problem in the 1st place!!! A joint orphanage? ORPHANAGE?? Where has the MIT sociology dept. been for the last 30 years? How many orphanages are there in Boston, or in the entire US? - how about ZERO! My favorite is linking up Jerusalem with mideast Arab cities - that`s what the Arab states have been trying to do through 60 years of warfare - before 1967, it was "linked" with Amman, Jordan (after their 1948 conquest). Maybe Israel should sponsor a "Just M.I.T." contest to figure out how kids from Dorchester and South Boston can get admitted to M.I.T.! It can`t be that hard, with students submitting "winning proposals" like these. Go back to building model bridges out of toothpicks!
