For four days, delegates from around the globe will gather to discuss a variety of sanitation topics. Perhaps the most fundamental point is that billions of people still don’t have access to this most basic requirement for civilised and hygienic living.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/printable/4026/">
Delegates arriving in New Delhi can look forward to an accompanying expo, opened by former Miss Universe Yukta Mookhey, before an evening ‘cultural programme and dinner’ at the Bulgarian Embassy. Later in the four-day programme of events, there will be various presentations, including ‘Toilets on the Television: a critical sanitation message in the global media context’</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/printable/4026/">
If occasionally the delegates sound like they might be talking crap, as opposed to talking about how we should deal with it, there is a deadly serious side to the proceedings. Almost 400,000 children in India die each year from diarrhoea as a result of not having access to clean water. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/38C1ED84-2C2B-4AFF-8EA6-5F4B864F976F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
