together, prepare for new projects, advance existing ones, and above all, stay connected with our friends around the world. It's a time to be hopeful, but also a time to show up, to be here, as only you can. During this time it’s been reassuring to have received so many thoughts and messages of hope. Everyone here at Friendly Water for the World wishes you well. Please continue to practice healthful behaviors. Our office is closed, but the staff continues to work a normal schedule, just from home. Due to the uncertainty of a schedule for the resumption of public contact we are canceling this year’s week-long training, traditionally held in August. But we are staying connected with our weekly Zoom Chat and are preparing new events for the future. At Friendly Water for the World we know that the health of the community depends on not just our past actions, but how we are going to walk forward together. Together, we will continue to focus on our seven core technologies BioSand Filters, Micro-Flush Toilets, Water Catchment Tanks, Rocket Stoves, Permagardens, Liquid Soap, and Compressed Soil Bricks. These simple technologies help build self-reliance and new futures. Together they make a stronger community better prepared to tackle health issues be it Cholera or Covid. With you, working together.
