Dear PEN Members,
Greetings!
I am pleased to announce that our next PEN meeting will be held on September
13, 2005, 9:00 am at the GTZ Office in Makati. We have invited 2 ecosan
experts, Mr. Heinz-Peter Mang and Ms.Elizabeth Huba who will be sharing
their valuable experiences on the implementation of various ecosan projects
in urban, peri-urban and rural areas. Please take note that we will also be
joined by representatives of foreign donor agencies during the presentation.
Following this, the experts will be conducting a 3-day workshop in Bohol
Province entitled "1st ecosan Training on Low-Cost Sanitation for Rural
Areas in the Philippines" on 14-16 September 2005. The workshop is
designed to provide a general overview of the ecosan philosophy and its
effective promotion at the household level and develop appropriate tools and
strategies needed for implementation. Special focus will be given on the 3
relevant implementation components, namely technical, social and health, and
reuse. A draft program for this 3-day workshop is attached for your
reference.
Considering that we have limited slots for the activitiy, kindly confirm
your attendance on or before August 29, 2005 to Ms. Carissa Noche of the GTZ
Water Program at telephone no. +632 927-1875.
Thank you and we look forward to your active participation in this activity.

Best Regards,
