Clean water

Vincent's experiences this summer in Guatemala and the lack of clean water there encouraged him to push - as a United Nations delegate to be from Guatemala - for a bigger UN clear water campaign. He dissuaded his Brown School/"Guatemalan" colleagues to abandon an anti-AIDS campaign and worked with classmates to help devise and find funding for a series of UN clean water projects across the globe. Apparently at the Kentucky United Nations Assembly (actual UN building pictured above) during the past 2 1/2 days, this campaign won - ironically, in Vincent's absence (see earlier post) - the best proposal award/plaque. Perhaps the lack of clean water got some people's attention even without Vincent there in person to target the problem.
