We are pursuing some funding options through the Peruvian Culture Ministry, and Macarthur has also announced an interesting initiative as well. I'll look into it! As a fellow Princeton graduate, who knows, maybe he'll heed the call. Thanks again, and sorry for the much delayed response: I was on extended health leave and am still trying to catch up on backlog. Thanks again for the useful suggestion, GlennGlenn H.

CEO Jeff Bezos of Amazon dot com.<br /><br />OVERVIEW: Bezos is relatively quiet as a philanthropist, although the Bezos Family Foundation, run by his parents, is very active.<br /><br />The Bezos Family Foundation was founded in 2003 and is run by Jeff Bezos's parents, and though Jeff's name doesn't appear anywhere on foundation documents, it is nearly fully funded with Amazon stock. <br /><br />ARTS & CULTURE: Bezos has given $10 million to the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) to establish a Center for Innovation at its new location. He has also put $42 million towards the prototype of a project referred to as the Clock of the Long Now, a clock meant to keep time for 10,000 years.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362115269031083756.post-64204417002344223492016-05-15T06:41:25.337-04:002016-05-15T06:41:25.337-04:00Thank you for that encouragement and timely sugges...Thank you for that encouragement and timely suggestion. Now that the slow sand filtration systems have been tried, tested and adapted in three communities over a period of 10 years, and all the technical kinks as well as social challenges worked out, it would be an excellent time for this project to scale up and bring these benefits to more communities in similar situations. <br /><br />An attempt to bring this technology to communities affected by the Camisea gas pipeline was met only with obstacles: my guess is that corrupt deals were made to benefit other, more profit-minded contractors (see http://ethnoground.blogspot.com/2012/11/shipwrecked-sorry-state-of-development.html). But more recently we have been in touch with the Peruvian Culture Ministry about using indemnization funds from the gas project to install this kind of system in the Kogapakori-Nahua reserve adjacent to Manu Park. <br /><br />Than you for this suggestion and please send the Rainforest Flow contact information along to any institutions you know who might be interested in learning more about the technical as well as crucial social elements that made this project one of those rare successes in the often disappointing realm of community development schemes.

They’re building something now. Not more than 10 months out of isolation. <br /><br />Likewise, Peru’s FENAMAD who are contacting a Mashco-Piro clan should do a feasibility study for village build, should the Mashcos indicate a desire to assimilate. <br /><br />I see Rainforest Flow acting as 3rd party consultant so Village design gets done right.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362115269031083756.post-73122123281965408012016-05-13T20:03:12.417-04:002016-05-13T20:03:12.417-04:00Ah, Kevin, thanks for the kind words again.Ah, Kevin, thanks for the kind words again.Glenn H.
