Dear Colleagues,

This is gentle Reminder of our WSS working Group meeting on 26 Oct at 
NGORC.
Lucky us that we have Ministry Of Health (MOH) representative who will 
join our meeting on Monday and will make a presentation. Dr. Juliet 
Waterkeyn (known internationally as the founder of the Community Health 
Club approach to hygiene and sanitation promotion). She will present the 
approach and her research about its effectiveness.

Thanks Lene Jensen for get involvement of MOH to our Working group,

So our agenda will be :

- Review the core group membership;
- Selection of the new chairperson
- MOH presentation 
- Discussion on priority activities - work plan of WSS in 2010
- cooperation with RWSS and other WGs


Cheers and see you all on Monday,
Best regards,
Thuha

> she would be happy to do so).

> I apologize for this late notice - it was not clear until yesterday

> the WSS working group to meet her and discuss the approach in such a
> relatively small forum.
