The volunteer position is as an educational adviser for Rural
University, our course development center in India. The server for
them is http://ruralu.org. They are applying for accreditation in
India and need overseers with academic credentials.

In the United States, we operate as an Independent Study Resource
only. We do not confer degrees here. Our units in South Africa,
Nigeria and India will receive degrees from the India office once
accreditation is acquired. It is important that we have feedback and
criticism from qualified independent educators like your self.

Thanks for making this possible.

hi barb

good initiative
discussion about waterharvesting is going on in several villages, and instead of starting the discussion new in each village, we can just find all in the water group!

the forums and sites posted so far look usefull.

in our village we have a six months dry period, we want to harvest the rainwater from the roofs of 2 warehouses (500 sq meter total), store that and use that in the dry season. There are enough ideas out on the web on how to do it. what i am really interested in is to share experiences with people who have build such tanks: know the dos and donts of construction, get grip on the maintenance costs of a system. If such things are out on the web i would love to know.

If not we can start it here and i can share my experiences while we are building our system
