The Environment and Health Non-Government Organization
OSU-Cascades "sustainable development/sustainability" communication class members have decided to simulate a non-government organization (NGO) that works on environment and health issues, such as water sanitation and safety. During class on Monday night 11 April we will refine this idea, discussing such as matters as mission, goals, and site.

I have been working on a possible logo and name of our company... I will post some rough draft ideas later, does anyone have any ideas for a name? I was trying to combine spanish/english into the name since that is our focus location.... and could help address respect for their culture as well
I look forward to seeing your ideas!
Umm... I'll toss somethings out (You can translate them into Spanish or Latin): Watering Needs, Drop of Hope, Need water?, Aqua Monument, if you want to go govermenty, CWC:LA or The Clean Water Coalition of Latin America. Adiuvo Aqua!
I really like drop of hope... or drops of hope too! I'll mess around with the name and some ideas.
Hey Leah, Ryan and I met and went over what we need from every group. Input anything you think we missed.
ICT Needs
RINA How/ what we use and background.
PCET- How are we educating locals through our mission.
ORG-GOV Mission statement business plan
FR-PR Widget, where the funds go and fundraising events.
Let Ryan or I know if you all have any questions.

Engineers without borders..projects like we are working on.
Here are a few ideas that I came up with, some of them could be used for other teams as well.
1.Approach schools, find a teacher that is excited about doing a project with the class that helps with fundraising, pr or? I say all grades, middle, high school. Approach the Community College for some professional help, give students a hands on project.
2.Check with the University of choice that maybe has or is working on projects like this. Get them to incorporate the project into an internship or a trip to South America..College folks earning credit to work for project. Free to our project.
On the Engineers without Borders website..the project that is El Salvador-candelaria de la Frontera, Colorado State University, San Antonio Abad water project. My friend Heather Coleman is the Peace Corp volunteer mentioned on this project. I can ask her any questions about this project. So let me know if anyone needs any specifics.

I have changed the settings on the Blog to accommodate graphics materials (pictures, photos). I am going to experiment to see if this can be done.
I have also changed the setting to allow links. Let's try one - this is for the "Communication Initiative Network."

Chris and I have the landing page to our site completed. We now simply need the info from each group to put up on the rest of the site.
everyone shouild check out this non-profit ngo waterforpeople.org It is really helpful on some more info on what we are trying to accomplish!
I wanted to make sure there was nothing else that other groups need for their presentation. I believe that our group (funding and marketing)answered everyones questions and needs let us know
I think we are good to go!
I was floored by the ability and creativity at our presentation last week. What a great job every one. it has been a privilege to work with you guys. Doc I hope to see you on this side of the hill again for your negotiation classes. Have a wonderful summer you guys.
Likewise, well done with pulling everything together everyone. Professor Walker, thank you for teaching I am more than interested to take more of your course as they offer a less than typical teaching style which I find very effect for learning. Seriously thank you for a great term hope to have you for a professor again soon.
Have a summer full of outdoor epicness everyone!
I had a great time with everyone this term! Thanks for a great class... I am really proud to see all the hard work we each put into our groups come together. Everyone have a great and safe summer!
Way to go everybody! So good to see a project come together like that.
