Hi all,
So the conference sub-committee has been hard at work the past few weeks sending out email invitations to a few less than five hundred organizations, social businesses, and trusts across India. The process has been long and tedious, and at times frustrating, but we have finally finished. As replies have been coming in slowly but steadily, the hard part of keeping everything organized and up-to-date begins. Yukta, Spenser, Alicia, and I will also be beginning to make calls next week to NGOs confirming details and urging the ones that haven’t responded yet to do so. We also have a growing number of travel scholarship applications to review, but that won’t begin until after the February 15th deadline for applications. Overall, we find people are much enthused about the conference, and we have also had a large number of groups willing to contribute to the Water Book. As the number of confirmed attendees grows, so does our excitement!

One Love,
John
