Tess with children in Rwanda; see the woman carrying water in the background?<\/p><\/div>\n

In the late autumn of 2011 we started meeting via Webex each month with students from colleges and universities all over the country. \u00a0Our goal? \u00a0To connect them to other like-minded peers and leaders who are interested in being a part of the solution to the economic water crisis that keeps millions without access to clean, reliable water sources.<\/p>\n

In December we began recording the calls; I tell you, this is so fun! \u00a0 So why bother doing the recording? \u00a0So we can share news from the field, and begin to catalog conversations that others (like you) can listen to and learn from, at your leisure!<\/p>\n

Jack, the voice from the field<\/p><\/div>\n

For our December call we had an interview with Jack Owen, our Program Manager, where we heard about a pilot project we are beginning in Kenya with a Field Partner, Pamoja Trust<\/a>. \u00a0 Working in informal urban settlements around Mombasa, the pilot project will establish two water kiosks, provide hygiene and sanitation training, and is expected to serve between 2500-3000 people. \u00a0Listen to our chat with Jack by clicking this link<\/a>, and hear\u00a0more details about this project, and stories of changed lives.<\/p>\n

What’s next in our line up of recorded topics? \u00a0Keep your eyes open for topics such as ‘Time is Money<\/del> Water<\/em><\/span>!’ (to be recorded during our Jan. 25th call), \u00a0‘Technology Spotlight’,\u00a0and others. \u00a0Have ideas for discussion topics? \u00a0Write to us! \u00a0We’d like to hear from you.<\/p>\n

“Catch you on the radio”, as they say!<\/p>\n
