[sustran] Request for information "A Community Guide to Environmental Health"

[SUSTRAN Resource Centre]

Dear friends,

This announcement seems to touch on transport issues somewhat. Perhaps
someone is keen to help them?

The Hesperian Foundation, publisher of Where There Is no Doctor, is
requesting information for their new book: A Community Guide to
Environmental Health. Their goal is to help urban and rural communities
throughout the world learn how to identify and respond  to health prob;ems
caused by environmental pollution and destruction. The guide will include
tools and techniques used to identify health and environmental problems;
the causes of health problems; suggestions for preventing some
environmentally related helath problems and stories and strategies from
grassroots organizations.

They are looking for :
- names and addresses of grassroots organizations or individuals doing work
in the area of community health as related to their environment;
- any literature (brochures, newsletters, etc) you produce on health and
environmental issues;
- information about books or resources you think might be of use to this
project.

The Hesperian Foundation is a non-profit organization that publishes books
that help people, even those with little formal education, improve the
health of people in their communities.
