Christopher Bachtrog replied to Christopher Bachtrog's discussion Rope-Pumps in the group WASH"Thanks a lot you guys.
@Trayle - Well, I did and UNICEF here in Zalingei claims they know for sure that Islamic Relief are using them with success in Northern Darfur, but so far I have found no one to verify that. Also, as I said - apparently there…"

In some communities this apparently worked quite well, when I was there though you could see a split between male and female groups. As eventually the groups…"
Christopher Bachtrog replied to Christopher Bachtrog's discussion Please Help! in the group Foodies"Awesome! The Minestrone is a great idea - also the guacamole (I'm sure I can improvise something with regard to the cilantros). Keep it coming, there are still plenty of cans left!
