Hot off the wire

This just in from one of our contacts in Morrito:

Hey gang,
big things are happening so I thought I'd send a update. Consultants from the Panamerican Health Organization and World Health Organization came to Morrito last Monday and heard proposals from just about everybody, the mayor, the ministry of health, ministry of education, farmers, etc... I'm pretty sure I got approval for complete remodeling of the casa materna, and replacement of the roof of the Salon Comunal in Walter. It's looking real likely that the health center will get some much needed help, along with the possible construction of 9 schools in outlying communities. A friend of mine is going to Managua today to present plans for a potable water project similar to the one in Juigalpa, and it sounds real promising that it will get picked up as well. The a ton more projects on the bill also but those are the biggest, on the 23rd 13 potential donors, all form deifferent countries and organizations will come to see the proposals and pick which they will donate to. This could have potentially huge consequences for Morrito and its real exciting. You guys got a shout out during the meeting and people were excited to hear of another possible trip in August. Ill stay in touch and let you know what happens, till next time take care

Now it occurs to me that perhaps the WHO goes around requesting proposals and then taking off, but that seems unlikely.

This could have huge implications for us. Namely, how do we make sure that we don't duplicate their work

However, if this goes somewhere it will be a great thing regardless for two reasons. One, Morrito might get 9 new schools and a fixed up medical clinic. Two, we got to know Morrito before the WHO, we will watch things closely (and hopefully help) during the WHO, and we will know Morrito after the WHO. This process will give us an excellent outsiders (somewhat anthropoligical) view of how the WHO and a community interact.

I am very excited, but how we go forward? Do you know any contacts who can get us more information? Specifically, I would like to be in contact with whoever is in charge of the project.
