Hello Lillian,

Thank you for joining the water and sanitation group. I hope you find some good input here.

I am not a water expert, so I can only provide information and resources, but I can look over some of the resources already provided and see what is available. I will also try to find out some information specific to the problems facing your community, although since I am not a water expert, I can only gather information and hopefully you will find contacts that you can follow up with.

Hi Everyone,

Glad to have you here. You mention an interest in water and medically related areas. Here are some specific tasks for that as well as some others that are not related to these.

Hi Michael,

First, welcome to Kabondo! We are glad to have you here!

Hi Melissa!

I had to laugh at your last post! I do the same thing!

I think that there are multiple options for making the blankets. As you mention (and I think in another post) that old strips of fabric can be used to either crochet or weave. This is a good way to turn old unusable items to new use. There is wool and yarn and other fabrics as well. There is knitting, crocheting, weaving, sewing, etc.

I think now it is a matter of the following:

* deciding what skills are locally available
* what materials are readily available
