There is some sort of competition going on for a prize of $50,000 to a university student with an innovative idea to solve a social or environmental problem.

This student chose to create a homeless shelter in Jerusalem.

There are only a few days left for voting, and if he stays stead he will at least move into round 2 of the competition.

Unless you like one of his competitors, go vote for this Bar Ilan students idea...
