The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) event based its procedural style around the idea of speaking one's truth in order to begin a journey of healing such that the survivor is able to arrive at a place of peace and set one's spirit free from emotional pain. In a Catholic understanding, the sacrament of Reconciliation corresponds closely to these speaking acts that occurred at the TRC. We understand the matter and form of Reconciliation as being made up primarily of words, and to this end, part of the process that we encountered at the TRC had some correlation to the speaking, the naming, the words.
Anyone who goes to Confession regularly knows how hard it is to be honest about your sins. Harder still to say them out loud and apologize. But the conference of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, hosted in Edmonton during the last week of March, was committed to doing both. The TRC is dedicated to honesty about what the Canadian churches and government inflicted on the native population in the residential school system.
The first concern that one might have about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is that only one side of the "truth" was heard at its national events. While one heard numerous testimonies from survivors of Indian residential schools, no one spoke for those, mostly Church people, who worked in the schools. Even less was there any voice for the federal government which held ultimate authority for the schools.
We need to give away some of our own possessions in order to be healthy. Wealth that is hoarded always corrupts those who possess it. Any gift that is not shared turns sour. If we are not generous with our gifts we will be bitterly envied and will eventually turn bitter and envious ourselves.
Jesus is risen! This is the sacred cry of the Church in this holy season. We celebrate the reality that Jesus has overcome death so that we might all have eternal life. The question we need to ask ourselves is – Is Jesus risen in me? Is he alive in me today?
Chances are you will eat your dinner when you want. Go to bed when you want. Go out the door when you want. Inmates can't. So why should we care? They broke a law, maybe many laws. They deserve to be there. Really?
When I met Moira (not her real name) she was completely broken-hearted. As the old song says, "I can tell by your eyes, you've probably been crying forever." That was Moira. The 42-year-old mother had developed severe chronic progressive multiple sclerosis which put her into a wheelchair within a year of her diagnosis. Moira's husband left her, and their only daughter went with him.
When I read today's excerpt from John's Gospel telling of Jesus' post-resurrection appearance to his disciples, the simplicity of the description seemed scant in view of the subject. Consider the scene: Jesus came and "stood among them."
The first time Father Charlie Gervais came to my front door, he was wearing a wig and a bathrobe. This is not a missionary's usual garb. But then, Charlie is no usual missionary. He was accompanied by Father Mike Traher (now a missioner in Guyana), who was also weirdly attired. Their goal, as my poor mother opened the door, was to engage this devout woman in a conversation designed to lead to her conversion.
On April 27, Popes John XXIII and John Paul II will be canonized. Both were great men who made epochal contributions to the Catholic Church. While John XXIII made an enormous contribution to transforming the Catholic Church, John Paul II is one of the greatest popes in the Church's 2,000-year-history, perhaps the greatest.

The first raising of this banner! I am thrilled to say that the new Mixed Doubles is proving to be a real success. The players love it, and there is just so much to see in every match.
And it's very special that a fifteen year-old and a thirteen year old from Spain can give the Scottish team a hard time. Sergio Vez Labrador and Irantzu Garcia were 5-0 up on Dillan Perras and Judith Carr before the Scots fought back to win in the last end!

A very pleasant stay - good facilities, large rooms and good value
Hiltons worst performer
Booked a spacious double delux room.
Instead checked in to a cramped twin double. Ceiling wallpaper peeling off, moths and Mosquitos as room guests, staff not bothered to pickup phone when you ring. Internet TV freezing on all channels, and wifi that will drop off signal after every 20 seconds. Hilton Newport by far worst Hilton especially for the pricely sum charged.

great service
All the staff we encountered during our stay were very helpful and the breakfast was great plenty of choice
Only average
Stayed one night and had dinner at the hotel.
Reasonably priced but could do a lot better. Hotel really needs some the spent on it...The courtyard area grubby and not even swept. Felt uncared for..shame as it could be lovely. Hotel seen better days although the room had everything required. Breakfast food was good although had to wait for table, food and coffee to be replenished. Very disorganised staff had little support or guidance from a hands on manager. or if there was I didn't see them. Not a bad overall experience but don't think it was memorable enough to go again.

with this product, can we stain the deck?
by francis17 9/13/2012
- That all depends on the viscosity of your deck stain. Check with the stain manufacturer or the retailer. Certain stains are thicker than others - even under the same 'category'. Generally, semi-transparent stains should work ... but the ones I know that really work well are the Olympic ones. There is a tradeoff between viscosity and longevity.by 4BoysInTheSun5/24/2013Was this answer helpful? (0) (0)Was this answer helpful?

Beyond Hot YogaRead MoreJust as the thermostat inside Beyond Hot Yoga's studio fluctuates between 75 and 105 degrees, the classes themselves include a wide range of poses tailored to various levels of experience.

Fallout 3 Radio problems.
1 replies 677 views Edited Sep 15, 2012
Hello. When I started to play Fallout 3 on my PS3 Slim I noticed that if I opened the Pipboy and the radio was playing then closed it it would glitch out. It wouldn't skip per se but the part of the audio that was playing would be distorted. This problem only occured on my PS3 Slim. However, when I play Fallout new Vegas I don't have any problems and the game will run smoothly without a hitch. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem and how to fix it. I admit it is a small problem but it is annoying. Thanks to anyone that can help.
Note: I forgot to mention the audio will distort randomly sometimes even if I never opened the pipboy. Wanted to add that in for further clarification.

New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, former Mets trainer Kirk Radomski, and former Yankee and Twins player Chuck Knoblauch will not testify before a congressional committee Wednesday in Washington D.C.
The only people now scheduled to testify on Wednesday are pitcher Roger Clemens, former Clemens trainer Brian McNamee and Charlie Scheeler of former Senate majority leader George
Mitchell's staff.
"Mr. Knoblauch and Mr. Pettitte answered all the Committee's
questions and their testimony at the hearing is not needed,"
committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis
said in a statement. "Mr. Clemens and Mr. McNamee have also
cooperated with the Committee in its investigation."
Pettitte's request to be excused was first reported by The New
York Times on its Web site.
Wednesday's session, which will focus on allegations made in the Mitchell report by McNamee that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with performance enhancers, had been expected to include five witnesses testifying -- Clemens, Pettitte, Knoblauch, McNamee and Radomski.
Now all attention will be focused on Clemens, a seven-time Cy
Young Award winner, and McNamee, his former personal trainer, who
alleged he injected the pitcher with performance-enhancing drugs.
"I guess it's showtime, isn't it?" Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty
Hardin, told The Associated Press.
In an interview with the New York Times, Hardin criticized Waxman.
"You have a chairman who is going down the tubes because his own committee doesn't support what he is doing," Hardin told the Times in a telephone interview.
On Sunday, Waxman sent a letter to Hardin, saying that some comments by Hardin and McNamee's lawyers were "inadvisable." Hardin told the Times on Saturday that it would be "brazen" and "unbelievable" if IRS Special Agent Jeff Novitzky, a key prosecutor in the BALCO drug cases, attends the hearing.
"If he ever messes with Roger, Roger will eat his lunch," Hardin was quoted as saying.
"I do not know your intent in making this statement, but under one interpretation it can be seen an attempt to intimidate a federal law enforcement official in the performance of his official duties," Waxman wrote. "It is not your client's prerogative to dictate who attends or does not attend the hearing. ... I trust you did not intend your comments to be a signal that there could be adverse repercussions to a federal law enforcement official for attending the hearing or taking other official actions."
Earl Ward, McNamee's lead lawyer, declined to comment on the
changes to Wednesday's hearings testimony lineup.
Sources told ESPN's T.J. Quinn that Pettitte was not a good witness when he appeared before congressional lawyers during a sworn deposition on Monday.
Pettitte often contradicted himself, the sources said, so the committee agreed to his request not to appear before the committee, although portions of Pettitte's deposition may be read aloud at the hearing.
Lawyers familiar with the hearings would not say if Pettitte implicated Clemens as a steroids user in his testimony. However, they said that Pettitte's testimony didn't fully jibe with Clemens' versions of events.
Rep. Davis of Virginia said in an interview
with Newsday that Pettitte's account matches McNamee's in most
McNamee has accused Pettitte of using human growth hormone -- something Pettitte
acknowledged he did do for two days in 2002 to deal with an elbow
injury. Before Pettitte spoke to committee lawyers under oath last
week, Ward said he thought Pettitte would tell the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform he
discussed HGH with Clemens between the 2001 and 2002 seasons.
Hardin told Quinn that it was "completely understandable" that Pettitte wouldn't want to appear before a hearing. "Who would?" he said.
Asked whether Pettitte's desire to skip the hearing was a sign that his testimony was incriminating to Clemens, Hardin said, "it would be a huge mistake to assume that."
Hardin said Clemens "has always welcomed Andy's participation" and that he plans "to testify fully and truthfully as he always has."
Radomski told ESPN.com's Mike Fish on Monday that he doesn't anticipate having to appear before committee lawyers Tuesday morning for his scheduled deposition.
"I haven't heard from them,'' Radomski said of committee staff members. "Unless something changes I have no reason to go.''
Pettitte's attorney, Jay Reisinger, declined to comment after
the announcement.
Asked about the change, Knoblauch's attorney, Diana Marshall,
said: "I'm not disappointed. I know Chuck is not disappointed."
The new witness is Scheeler, a partner with Mitchell's
law firm, DLA Piper. According to the firm's Web site, Scheeler
mainly works in commercial litigation and white collar criminal
Clemens' camp disputes several elements of the Mitchell report's
sections about him. Clemens said he repeated under oath during his
closed-door deposition what he previously had said in various
settings publicly: "I've never used steroids or growth hormone."
If the committee believes Clemens or McNamee made false
statements under oath, it could ask the Justice Department to open
an investigation. This is the same House panel that -- after the
Mitchell report came out -- asked Justice to look into whether 2002
AL MVP Miguel Tejada lied when he told committee investigators in

This invention relates to systems for probing devices having a plurality of locations designed to make electrical contact with targets such as semiconductor devices. More particularly, this invention relates to methods and apparatuses to accurately achieve and maintain the positioning of a probe card relative to the bonding pads of an integrated circuit device.
Integrated circuits are often manufactured on a semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer is typically a thin circular plate of silicon that is 150 or 200 or 300 millimeters in diameter and approximately 0.64 millimeters thick. Typically, a single wafer will have numerous devices which are integrated circuits formed on a lattice pattern. Each device consists of numerous layers of circuitry and a collection of external bonding pads. The bonding pads are small sites, typically 3 mils square, made usually with aluminum that eventually serve as the device's connections to the pin leads. The aluminum itself forms a thin non-conductive layer of aluminum oxide, which must be eliminated or broken through before good electrical contact can be made.
Since the packaging of a device is a costly procedure, it is desirable to test a device beforehand to avoid packaging faulty devices. The testing process involves establishing electrical contact between a device called a probe card and the wafer and then running a series of tests on the devices on the wafer's surface. The probe card has a collection of electrical contact pins that stand in for the normal pins and wire leads of a packaged device. The wafer is positioned relative to the probe card so that the contact pins on the probe card make contact with a wafer's bonding pads and a special tester runs a battery of electrical tests on the wafer's devices. A special machine, called a wafer prober, is used to position the wafer with respect to the probe card.
A wafer prober might be considered a three dimensional positioner. The primary purpose of wafer probing is to accurately position the wafer relative to the probe card in a manner that ensures that the wafer device's bonding pads make good electrical contact with a probe card's probe tips in order to properly test a device before dicing and packaging. High accuracy is required, because the devices' bonding pads on the wafer present a very small contact footprint and if a probe card pin were to make contact outside the bonding pad area, the result may be a break in the wafer's external surface layer, which generally results in a damaged device.
Of the three main processes required for good probing—wafer alignment, thickness profiling, and probe to pad alignment—only probe to pad alignment has not traditionally been automated. However, recent developments in semiconductor technology have driven a requirement for automation. In an effort to improve performance and to include more features on each device, sensitive components are being fabricated under the bond pads. Accurate positioning of the wafer substrate under the pins also enables shrinking of the pad size thereby allowing more room for the active circuitry. Accuracy and throughput issues have therefore led to the development of the automatic wafer prober.
There are several different considerations involved in wafer probing. Due to the thin layer of nonconductive oxide residue that forms over the bonding pad during normal atmospheric exposure, the probe tips must penetrate the residue and travel vertically beyond initial contact in order to make contact with the aluminum underneath. For instance, in the most common form of probe card technology, cantilever probes, a portion of this vertical overtravel is transformed into motion along the plane of the wafer, or scrub, to further guarantee that the tip is in good contact with the underlying aluminum. In addition, the devices (with the exception of the bonding pads) are coated with an insulating layer of glass. If this glass layer is breached by the probe tips, the resultant cracks may damage an otherwise functional device. Therefore, a critical component of pad to probe alignment is the maintaining of an optimal relative (or contact) position between the probe card pins and the wafer pads. An optimal contact position is necessary to ensure that the exact required amount of contact pressure is exerted between the pins and a pad being tested. If too little pressure is exerted, insufficient contact is achieved and the prober cannot properly test because it may fail to break through the external oxide residue. If, on the other hand, too much pressure is exerted, damage to the pads may occur. Consequently, accurate positioning specifically along the contact load axes is a requirement for proper testing.
A further consideration for the maintenance of accurate contact positioning relates to the proper compensation of disturbances during operation. For instance, as the testing system runs the temperature of the system will be expected to change, and may do so at different levels for the different components making up the testing assembly. Temperature variations lead to relative expansion or contraction of the various components making up the system and in effect may change the previous relative (or contact) position between the pins and the pads. A disturbance in relative position can in turn lead to a change in the desired or commanded contact pressure between the pins and pad, which is of critical importance in maintaining proper performance.
However, prior art wafer prober systems do not provide thermal disturbance compensation. Current designs incorporate a drive and measurement mechanism situated at an appreciable distance from the wafer substrate locating surface. This method does not accurately and actively control the substrate surface during probing, especially at non-ambient temperatures.
In summary, recent advances in semiconductor technology have established a need for automatic probe to pad alignment during the testing process. In response, major vendors of wafer probers have offered some form of automatic probe to pad alignment. However, the existing forms of automatic alignment are often not sufficient to provide accurate alignment for modem integrated circuits that have very small and imperfectly shaped pads and probe tips and to ensure the maintenance of accurate relative positioning and contact in the presence of disturbances.
Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for automatically and accurately positioning a plurality of pads of an integrated circuit device for contact with a plurality of contact electrodes (e.g. pins on a probe card in a wafer prober). According to one embodiment of an aspect of the invention, a plurality of position and/or force sensors and/or velocity sensors are integrated into a multi-loop motion feedback control system in order to accurately measure and control the position of a substrate (wafer) locating surface relative to a probe card. The control system uses the sensor information to compensate for position changes due to the effects of load bearing between the prober and wafer pads and of temperature changes during operation.
According to another embodiment of another aspect of the invention, a thermally compensating sensor mount is employed to isolate the effects of temperature changes on sensor readings. An example of such a mount is a mount fabricated from athermal materials which have minimal changes in size due to changes in temperature.
A further embodiment of the invention includes using actuators in the wafer alignment mechanism to compensate for tilt on the locating surface introduced by the load bearing between the probe card and wafer assemblies.
These and other embodiments, features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description and appended claims which follow.
The methods described herein can be performed by a data processing system, such as a general purpose computer, performing under software control where the software can be sorted in a variety of readable media.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements and in which:
Methods and apparatuses for accurately achieving and maintaining a desired contact position between a probe and pad in a testing system are disclosed. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be evident, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.
Probing involves contacting the pad surface of the wafer with probe tips such that the tips "scrub" or slide across the bond pads under high pressure conditions and make electrical (resistive) contact with the pads on one or more ICs (integrated circuits) on the wafer. In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the prober system consists of two main components, or stages, one holding the wafer and the other the probe card. The two stages move relative to one another and are brought together in order to create the high pressure contact between the pads and tips.
The WHA stage 101 consists of a wafer chuck 105 used for securing the wafer 103, on which die contact pads 104 are formed; a motion mechanism 106 capable of moving the chuck and wafer along the X and Y directions 111; and a vertical or Z stage 112 capable of causing linear and rotary displacement of the chuck and wafer along the Z axis 111.
The PHA stage 102 consists of a probe chuck 109 to hold and secure a probe card 107 whose contact pins 108 are designed to pierce through the outer oxide layer of the wafer's bonding pads 104 during contact operations; and a stationary base 110 supporting the chuck to an attachment point 113.
In the embodiment shown in
One aspect of embodiments of the invention incorporates the use of sensors to measure the probe to pad contact position continuously during operation of the testing system. In another aspect of the invention the information gathered by the sensors is input in a feedback control system and compared with the desired, or target, contact position. If the position measured by the sensors differs from the desired contact position, the control system will calculate the required corrective action, which is implemented via motion actuators in the WHA or PHA stages.
In the particular embodiment shown in
In the embodiment shown in
In one possible embodiment the control output and input information in the two loops are verified and compensated for every 50 microseconds. Such a method would allow increasingly accurate and continuous monitoring and control of the substrate locating surface (wafer chuck) position at all temperatures. Other embodiments of control systems incorporating the readings of multiple sensors in order to achieve the accurate and continuous positioning of wafer pads relative to probe pins in any direction and in the presence of disturbances are also covered by the present invention.
Proper probing action requires the application of strong pressure and a high amount of friction between a wafer pad being tested and the probe card pins to ensure the pins break through the outer oxide layer. During testing of a given wafer pad, the pressure is only exerted on the footprint of the pad, and not on the rest of the wafer surface. This highly localized large pressure force in effect results in a rotational torque being applied to the wafer and its holding chuck. The magnitude of the torque varies with the location of the pressure application point but, if sufficiently large, can result in a tilting of the WHA stage or some of its components. In an embodiment of another aspect of the present invention, actuators placed around the periphery of the wafer chuck can be used to compensate for tilt (along both the X and Y axes) when a contact load is applied. Existing or additional sensors can detect any angular displacement about the X or Y axes and feed the information to a simple controller that in turn generates a properly calibrated command signal to the actuators, thereby eliminating any tilt.
The methods described herein can be performed by a data processing system, such as a general or special purpose computer, performing under software control where the software can be sorted in a variety of readable media.
The various embodiments of the inventions may be used on wafer probers having wafer chucks which hold full wafers or other types of probing systems such as systems which probe die or dice on film frames (which are flexible) or strips (which may be rigid).
At least certain embodiments of this invention may utilize one or more methods and/or systems described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/271,416 filed on Nov. 9, 2005 and entitled "Method for Probing Impact Sensitive and Thin Layered Substrate," which application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Thus, apparatuses and methods have been provided for achieving and maintaining the accurate pad to probe contact positioning in a testing system in the presence of disturbances. Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims. Accordingly the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive manner.

|Key Info
The Boat House is a very well appointed and beautifully presented studio style cabin set in the very pretty gardens of the owner's property. With a decking area overlooking a pond and small waterfall, this makes for a very tranquil and relaxing setting but with the convenience of a location that is close to good transport links. The historic city of Chichester and the castle town of Arundel are both just a few minutes drive away and there is a mainline railway station in nearby Barnham with direct services to London.
The living area has ample space for the king size bed, a large wardrobe and drawers, a seating area and a dining area. There is a kitchenette in the corner of the cabin which offers a microwave oven with grill, as well as a kettle and toaster, so it is ideal for small scale self-catering. The luxury shower room has a rather spectacular shower unit, with multiple shower and jet options, lighting and a built in radio! All the fittings and furnishings at The Boat House are of a high standard and this is all topped off by the delightful setting.
To the front of The Boat House there is a raised deck which overlooks a feature pond and the gardens beyond. To one side of the pond is an area of garden for private use by guests and this includes seating overlooking the pond and the cabin. On a sunny summer's evening, this is a lovely spot for a drink or an al-fresco meal. There is parking available on a gated driveway, just next to the cabin.

The West Sussex region
The Boat House is located close to the village of Eastergate in West Sussex. Within walking distance of the cabin are a choice of pubs, as well as Denmans Garden Centre which has an excellent café serving lunches, as well as teas, coffees and cakes. The local village of Barnham offers further dining choices and take-away options.
For horse racing enthusiasts, the race courses at Fontwell and Goodwood are both within easy reach, in fact, Fontwell is just a stones throw away. Goodwood also offers something for the motor racing fan, with the world famous Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival events being held annually on the estate, which is about 5 miles away.
The historic and attractive city of Chichester is about 6 miles to the west of Eastergate and is perhaps most famous for 900 year old cathedral that dominates the skyline. There is a great selection of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants in the centre of the city, as well as a choice of supermarkets and leisure activities. About 6 miles to the east is the town of Arundel, which is home to a large medieval castle. The town centre is wonderful for lovers of antique shops, for tea rooms, restaurants and for walks along the river that runs through the town. The beach at Climping is also a popular spot and is about 5 miles from The Boat House. For a peaceful countryside walk, the South Downs National Park is only a short drive away and offers many walking routes, including the South Downs Way tat runs from Winchester to Eastbourne.
Further along the coast are the cities of Portsmouth and Brighton, each offering great shopping and places of interest. Portsmouth is home to the Royal Navy and the historic dockyards feature the famous Mary Rose, as well as HMS Victory and HMS Warrior. Brighton is best known for its seafront and pier, along with a fantastic selection of independent shops in The Lanes.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
S-Comm's Unintended Side Effects
Although the explicit goal of Secure Communities is to improve public safety by increasing deportations of undocumented criminals, in practice the program catches many non-criminals in its net and can actually decrease public safety by eroding trust between immigrants and local police. Mistrust between police and immigrant communities can lead to underreporting of crimes, leaving these communities vulnerable to violence and impairing officers' ability to investigate and solve crimes.
Obama's Attempt to Prevent Mass Atrocities is Positive First Step
Recently the Obama Administration unveiled landmark legislation which has the potential to strengthen how the US deals with the prevention of mass atrocities and serious human rights violations. The inter-agency Atrocities Prevention Board (PSD-10) aims to close existing gaps in US law and provide new economic, diplomatic, and political deterrents to ensure that the US responds swiftly and unequivocally to all manner of human rights violators.
Balancing National Security Concerns with the Right to Seek Asylum
A June 16 decision filed by the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit (comprised of DE, NJ, and PA) offered a ray of hope to asylum seekers facing the daunting and ambiguous "national security bar." The decision prevented the deportation of two Uzbek men and likely saved their lives. On a larger scale, the decision is a step forward for all those seeking asylum from torture who would otherwise be barred because of tenuous national security concerns.
Secure Communities Goes Yet Another Step Too Far
In June, PHR blogged about its concerns that the Immigration and Custom Enforcement's (ICE) "enhancements" to its controversial Secure Communities (S-Comm) program were merely cosmetic and would do nothing to protect people who are unfairly swept up in its overly broad net. Now, it seems that those concerns are well-founded.
Torture Lawsuits against Rumsfeld Move Forward
In the last week, two different federal courts have demonstrated a commitment to accountability for torture perpetrated by U.S. officials.

Dear friends of the SODIS Foundation,
The year 2010 is coming close to its end, and so is our project to bring safe drinking water to more than 80,000 children in Bolivia, which you generously supported in the past. This is probably a good moment for you to relax for a moment and think of all the smiles that can be seen when children drink a glass of safe water. That's more than 80,000 smiles, and more than 80,000 lives protected. We send you the picture of just of one of the kids reached by our project – you will have to imagine the rest of the smiles. In this way, we would like to thank you for your continuing support.
However, it's not all smiles these days. Water is in the headlines again, but in a negative context. Almost one year after an earthquake devastated large parts of the capital of Haiti, the effects of lacking adequate water and sanitation services caused an outbreak of cholera. This tragic event spiked fears of a regional epidemic and called the Ministries of Health of several countries on the plan. In Bolivia, in a first step the SODIS Foundation is providing and translating the scientific evidence available to date that the SODIS method is a very effective protection against the disease (88% risk reduction documented). Additional steps are being discussed at the moment with Ministries of Health in other countries as well, indicating an increased awareness of the importance of the quality of our drinking water.
The field activities of the project in Bolivia are now closed. Throughout the year, the SODIS Foundation and its project partner Save the Children worked hard to bring safe water and improved hygiene to schools. Just to mention a few facts:
The final report is available in Spanish and soon will be ready for download in English on our website (www.fundacionsodis.org). We are now in the very important phase where we inform others about this project and make the experience available to a wider audience. For this task, we continue to receive donations throughout the rest of the year – please consider the project in your personal plans to contribute to those most in need.
Finally, the whole team of the SODIS Foundation wishes you all the best for the holiday season. If you are still looking for a meaningful present, why not make a dedicated donation to the project in the name of someone? In order to give such a Tribute Card, just proceed like with a normal donation (www.globalgiving.org/1905) and check the box "Make this Donation in Honor of Someone?" at checkout. You will be prompted to indicate how you would like the card sent (e-mail or postal mail), the card design, and all recipient details. You also can enter a personal message to the recipient.
We thank you for your continuing support and wish you a happy holidays season.
For the SODIS Foundation,
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you will get an e-mail when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports via e-mail without donating or by subscribing to this project's RSS feed.
Thanks to 201 donors like you, a total of $33,970 was raised for this project on GlobalGiving.
Combined with other sources of funding, this project raised enough money to fund the outlined activities and is no longer accepting donations.
