2008 CLEAN WATER CONFERENCE PLANNING PAGE
Willy has already posted in Omidyar.Net and he, Dr. Dickson Ssenoga and Joseph Luyinda have met to brainstorm ideas. I think it is best to wait til after the Chicago Conference in mid-July before we uplift the thread more in O-Net. just out of courtesy and to support others first. After that I think it will be appropriate for us to go ahead and start a campaign to mobilize and motivate others to join our cause. The message is to raise more awareness and the create a critical mass of people to take action together to eradicate WDI. Thanks for the Rural Health Care Foundation staff for taking the lead to make this a reality.;)
We need to brainstorm regarding acquiring sponsors, donors, grants, funding for the conference. We also need to have a place in O-Net and in the wiki for a sign-up of those who are interested in going. We shall need the e-mail addresses. Marissa, where can we have a sign-up page? We need names of participants, e-mail addresses, phones, addresses. I can help organize over here and will e-mail the participants on an on-going basis to help with cultural and motivational preparation for the trip. The great thing is that we have a wiki - thanks to Marissa! Willy, please post all that you have done already. I know that you have sent communications with many water NGOs already.
Regarding field trip and missions: visiting with the orphaned children of AIDS. I would l love to know the children's names. And the guardians. Photographs. Their ages. Perhaps connect them with the participants so by the time we go there, we already know the children by name. Visiting schools. Art. Music. Dance. Computer education. I am sure that you all have even better ideas.
We need to agree on the new name of our team. CLEAN WATER FOR THE WORLD TEAM (CWW team) sounds simple and good to me. And it is in the wiki and our website already. Are we all okay with Healthy & Safe Water for the World International Conference (HSWWIC)- or Clean Water for the World International Conference (CWWIC)? Just thinking about short and simple and easy to remember. Let us discuss.
A Welcoming and Greeting Committee: airport, hotel and lodging; food, taxi/vans, boda-bodas. I recommend that each of the participants be responsible for their payments. This is less confusing and encourages more accountability. Perhaps by getting a block for the conference we can get discounts for people.
By Mid-July I will contact Dehoney Travel for mission flight rates. Participants will need to get their passports and also I will update everyone regarding the health care and immunization needs. Let us continue the dialogue. And more ideas. I am open to all. These are just my thoughts for now.
Love to all,
Liz

RHCF agrees with Healthy & Safe Water for the World International Conference (HSWWIC) and another thing is that we need that page so that people can sign up and register for the conference and we need the brochures that can help us to invite the organisations and individuals interested in attending the conference

Liz and Marissa, Thank you for doing all of this. I think it makes the conference seem more real, like is really going to happen! A lot of details need to be worked out and I think it is better to do that here in relative privacy, rather than on O-net.
