We had those great spring snows and rains, and the water situation along the Front Range, for now, is less dire than it was a few months ago. Time to bring back the half-hour shower? The all-day lawn watering? You know the answer. It’s always dicey.

I am starting a podcast series in partnership with the Stanford Social Innovation Review (http://www.ssireview.org/) with support from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The focus of the series is to think beyond conventional international development work for inspiration so that challenges can be better addressed by looking beyond the limitations of our particular development sector. Through this Podcast Series Project, we will, for instance, look at how social movements are formed and made inevitable, how punk rock tells the story of social entrepreneurism better than any book, craft beer (especially in Colorado) is blazing new trails in ways that make beer and the world better, and how technologies harnessed for social good can give voice to those who currently seem voiceless. We will have fun, be creative, and make unconventional connections with an eye on how such linkages could lead to broader social change. I am looking for someone to assist in the following areas: Conduct research on topics that could be covered in the podcast series Help brief me on guests and their backgrounds Explore new ideas that could be covered in the podcast series Work as part of Water For People’s Marketing team to promote the podcasts and the topics that emerge from the podcasts Ideally, we are looking for a university student staying in Denver/Boulder, at least for the month of June, willing to work hard and have fun, with sound research skills and an eye on new ideas and unique connections.

By Patrick Moriarty, IRC Water and Sanitation Centre and John Sauer, Water For PeopleWhat is it that IADB’s Max Valasquez Matute in Honduras finds ‘only a bit short of a miracle’? The decision by seven INGOs to align their programming in Honduras in support of an Everyone Forever movement aimed at delivering full coverage in sustainable rural water, sanitation and hygiene services. Whether there was divine intervention or not, the meeting we attended on the 24 May between the assembled board members of the Millennium Water Alliance and the Mesa de Cooperantes (the donor coordination platform) of the Honduran WASH sector was pretty unusual – and very exciting. The MWA represents most of the biggest North American INGOs, and as such a huge combined total of WASH sector activity. We conservatively estimated that their aggregate contribution to Honduras’s WASH sector in the last five years was more than 20 million $US
