  • Indigenous education challenge. Our goal is to install clean water systems in remote sections of of the Amazon jungle. But educating indigenous communities about long-term water system management is just as important as the clean water system itself. It is crucial that the indigenous households understand how to conserve, protect, store, and treat the water for long-term safety.  What literature should we distribute? Can you design these materials or lend your thoughts? Send it to the Chronicle!

  • Use "Challenge App" on Facebook. This encourages friends to join and complete actions for the movement and can be sent to all your friends on Facebook. Nifty. Our challenge: tinyurl.com/cleanwater4ecuador
     

    2

  • Take a Facebook poll that asks questions related to our movement and the situation in Ecuador. Here's the link: tinyurl.com/movementquiz. Or, interview a friend in person; ask if he or she has ever heard of the situation in Ecuador. Post the results on our movement’s BlitzBazaar chronicle. It will be interesting to know how few people know of the social and environmental need.

  • Read the position paper our team has written on implementing clean water and waste management systems in Ecuador and give us your feedback. The position paper contextualizes the major opportunities and challenges a team is likely to encounter while planning immediate relief implementation strategy for the people of the Amazon Rainforest in Northeastern Ecuador. Once given the proper context, changemakers can then critique the implementation plan and the systems in consideration.  Email macp@stanford.edu for the position paper to get started.

  • Help us design and staff the Water Bracelet Launch Party! We will host a screening of the award winning documentary CRUDE (www.crudethemovie.com). We will establish an Ethos Alliance chapter at Stanford, and officially induct campus representatives to be the first chapter leaders. The crowd will assemble to take a group photo, where everyone in attendance will raise their hand in support of clean water for Ecuadorians. This important photo will be used to propel future events at other schools, and the chapter leaders will help grow the movement into the future.
