Questions they asked:
Cost, user fees
Comments about the state of the world
Rapid urbanization some places will be thinking about how to get a water supply as they urbanize
Alice Pell kept mentioning the Eithiopia school as an ideal candidate
Their are MPS students there who are looking for a project
Eithipia no piped water in most rural places but on the outskirts of major cities there is piped water
We have to decide how we want to proceed as far as research vrs. implementation

Organizations to think about
Millenium Development Goals/ Corporation
Stockholm Environmental Institute (washington office)
Africa Challenge Program

Catholic Releif Services
Gates focuses on more on Africa and Asia than Latin America
World Bank- Lots of Ag and environment
