A group of New Mexico Tech students, led by the Engineers Without Borders interest group, kicked off a weeklong Tents Tarps and Rope Drive Wednesday to assist the people of Haiti. Responding to urgent need for portable, durable shelters in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, the group will be collecting materials for immediate shipment to disaster relief groups. They are asking local people and businesses to donate tarps, rope, flashlights, batteries, and other materials that can be easily shipped and used to construct shelter.
