Feedback from the Workshop - 6:00
It would be good, but difficult, get the local government more involved into our project
Bolivian government may not be very involved in the Tsimane communities
They provide teachers and little else that we are aware
Fundraising
Fundraising specific meeting: Thursday 2/3 at 6:00 pm at Oneill's
Education
A group of people will be trained to fix and maintain the water filter system that is being put in
Also will be teaching the Anthropology group members how to fix the system
We will do our best to keep in touch with the communities for possible future troubleshooting
Try to get the communities to organize a committee or a water board to organize community members and get them involved in the process
We can get some help and support from the Anthropologists and doctors in the area also with their own projects

Germs, bacteria, viruses
Cleanliness
All and all volunteers needed

Outline community requirements - 6:35
Internal organization
Financial contributions
Monetary investment from the community
Very small amount of money or something tradable
Maybe ask the community as a whole to set aside a small amount of money at set intervals (insurance plan)
May or may not be feasible due to the fact that this community is still transitioning to a market economy
Donate translators to assist our organization during the trip
Mapping or other labor to assist us during our trip
May be difficult for more sparse communities
The more people involved, the more community members will be held accountable
Next Meeting - 6:45
PER work
Analysis or design
Prepare for pilot testing
