It's a wonderful example of the effectiveness of a partner organization finding a sustainable solution to a specific problem in a specific situation. "One size never fits all." Your model of partnering assures that our gifting makes a difference enabling the community to focus on other challenges in their lives - and bring them something to smile about! And it is an effective step in community development.

This is a powerful witness and I'm sure a wonderful way to help your students gain an understanding of what the message and dream of MLK was and how Water 1st and many other groups in the US and around the world have given themselves to the work of making the dream come true. Here is is 2011 and I just read this in the process of reading of the success of the 2011 Event!

By Ecoloove. What would be interesting to know is how the mobile toilets by DSK are operated!? Is there someone of the ngo driving around or can people make their own money with it? Also, where do all the faeces go? It has in fact been tested a while ago in India, in Ahmedabad. By Ecoloove.

Last year's event was a ton of fun, and all for a remarkable cause. I especially love the Fort Mason venue which is lovely at sunset! My Water 1st sources tell me you don't want to miss the silent auction at this year's benefit - lots of great items to bid on! See you there... Btw, if you haven't already heard or seen Marla speak, here is a link to her speech at the SF Commonwealth club this past January: http://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/archive/podcast/marla-smith-nilson-moving-beyond-lip-service-sustainable-water-11211-0 Wouldn’t miss it!
