Planning on doing this year's IDEAS competition? Still need project ideas and teammates for the Muhammd Yunus TB challenge? Wondering just what the issues with fighting TB are? What is it really like to run a TB camp in an affected area, e.g. in rural India? Looking for a community partner?
Prajnopaya, a non-profit headed by the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi right here in MIT, has been working in rural India for over a year now, conducting TB treatment and prevention programs.
