Engineering Team Creates Road Solution for Zimbabwe Mission Hospital
CEDARVILLE, OHIO - Moving earth for heaven's sake is the purpose of a team of Cedarville University engineering students. The students are going beyond the classroom to build a custom-made earth mover that will equip a hospital in Zimbabwe to keep its roads accessible and its doors open to those in need. Nearly two years ago, Cedarville's School of Engineering launched a senior design project to create an affordable, tractor-mounted earth mover for Karanda Mission Hospital. Now, a new team of students is bringing that vision to life, planning to complete and deliver the machine to the hospital by the end of May. Karanda Mission Hospital serves the physical and spiritual needs of Zimbabwe's northwest region. Due to the hospital's remote location away from heavily populated areas, reliable road access is critical. During Zimbabwe's rainy season, dirt roads leading to the hospital are often washed away, severely impacting Karanda's ability to provide care.

Allied Health Students Serve at Food Bank November 20
Students pursuing a degree in allied health can often be found in medical practices, training centers and on the sidelines at football games. But one Saturday a month, students from Cedarville University's Allied Health Student Organization (AHSO) will be serving their community on the frontlines of the battle against food scarcity. Starting on Saturday, Nov. 20, students from AHSO served food from 10-11 a.m. at the Cedarville Community Food Pantry. The pantry, hosted by Cedarville United Presbyterian Church, provides food for local residents on the third Saturday of every month. AHSO first connected with the food pantry last year, thanks to a connection between AHSO's then-treasurer, Emma Mlagan, and representatives from the food pantry. Students were able to serve once at the end of the spring semester, greeting those who arrived and helping with distributing food.
