Notes from 10/2/2011

Last night's meeting was a splendid reunion. After being disengaged for the past few weeks, our faithful leader Aleco has brought the team back together. The following topics were discussed:

• Update on the conference call with Joshua Knight
• Reestablishing contact with Soknay (Sagar sent an email to Soknay during the meeting)
• Questions for Dr. Lindner
• Presentations of research by Laureen, Sarah, and Sagar pertaining to water collection and eco-village
• Establishing new weekly meeting time: Meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 7PM except for the weeks of the General Body Meeting. On these weeks, meetings will be held on Sunday night.

Ideas that arose during the meeting:

• Ashley suggested the idea of having an interpreter of sorts at the next Skype session with Soknay.
• Aleco and David will talk to Joshua Knight again within the next few weeks, clarifying our current position and seeking possible guidance.
• The team discussed looking to the Cambodian teenagers for project ideas based on what the villages really need. Ashley will make first contact.
• Eddy reemphasized that our team should wait for a project idea to come to us rather than attempting to create an idea on our own to avoid possible overlap in implementation from another NGO.
• Briana will research more about 3H to find out where they are with their latrine project, specifically if they are in the Pursat region.
• Ashley alerted the team to a fundraising opportunity on Tuesday October 11th during Cirque du Soleil- check your email for more information.

Next meeting: Sunday October 9th at 8:00 PM, 3rd floor Marston
