Okay, so this Sunday, I'm going to have to eat 102 peeps (per earlier agreement with the nerdfighters). I would have to eat more than 300, but several nerdfighters came to my rescue and agreed to eat some Peeps on my behalf.

This means that nerdfighteria raised more than 3,000 dollars in a week to help Shawn Ahmed do cool work in Bangladesh. The money nerdfighters gave during the Great American Tour de Nerdfighting has already changed lives through a newly built pond sand filter now serving a village in rural Bangladesh.

People preparing the sand used for water filtration:


Construction on the interior:


Almost finished:


For the first time in decades, clean water for the village:


Many thanks to Shawn and Save the Children and all those involved in the construction for getting it done (on time and under budget!).
