Again, not sure if this would be a good option for the school, but again I felt it was worth posting to learn more about the option.

I came across this very interesting video in a blog tonight and wanted to share it with you. The website for the company who created this is located here: www.playpumps.org. Basically, they construct a water well and a merry-go-round that children play on pumps the water. Quite an innovative idea! :) Right now it looks like they just work in Africa, but you never know when something like this might expand.
RESEARCH-access to drinking water at the school
Step:
2
The students at the school in Gamauli presently have no access to clean drinking water while at school. For this task, we are looking for volunteers to help research different options for making clean water available at the school on a sustainable basis. The "Water and Sanitation Group" here at Nabuur may be a good place to start.

The following are posters that can be printed off for use in the community related water, sanitation and hygiene. Some communities have had them printed on more durable materials such as cloth or potato sacks or canvas. There are a series of 30 posters. These ones are in English.

Prescription for Health is a DVD put together by the International Development Research Centre. While the movie was made in the 1980s, the messages contained in the movie are still very relevant today. The only way you would know that this movie was made in the 80s is by 2 references to the 1980s. It is great for showing to the community for general sensitization on health, water and sanitation. The file is very large, but below is a transcription of the movie plus a link to the website where the movie can be downloaded.
