Dow Corning Citizen Service Corps member Frank DeLano talks about his experience

In 2010, Dow Corning launched its Citizen Service Corps to create a living laboratory that will give employee volunteers from across our company unique opportunities to:

Discover -- Gain firsthand insights into the needs of people in emerging and developing economies

Serve -- Work with local organizations on service projects with the potential to make a tangible, valuable and sustainable contribution to the community

Innovate -- Explore new opportunities for innovation and growth that could improve the quality of life among people who currently have little or no access to silicone technology

Frank DeLano was part of the pilot team and recently wrote a blog post for Next Billion (http://www.nextbillion.net/blog/2011/11/02/housing-series-from-the-field-) about his experience working on a sustainable housing initiative in Bangalore, India. Here he comments on his experience.
