Dear Partners, 

We have published the 12th issue of the PCIA Bulletin! 

The Bulletin provides information on the activities of the Partnership for
Clean Indoor Air (PCIA) and its Partners around the world, and is intended
to increase awareness and action on indoor air pollution, household energy
and health. Regular features include spotlights on PCIA partners, feature
articles based on a thematic focus, and recent achievements and advances in
household energy, indoor air pollution, and health. 

The 12th issue focuses on the use of volunteers in household energy/indoor
air pollution initiatives. This issue contains a collection of feature
articles on: the "Energy Clinic" program run by the Energy Management Center
of the Government of Kerala, India; the University of Dayton's Engineers in
Technical Opportunities for Service-learning (ETHOS) Program; and;
Ecofogao's experience working with volunteers in their Ecostove program. In
addition, we highlight the University of Colorado's experience addressing
indoor and ambient air pollution through multidisciplinary collaborations
involving student volunteers. In this issue, we also introduce a new
section, "Notes from the Field", in which Stewart Craine of Barefoot Power
discusses his experience working as a volunteer and social entrepreneur.
Last but not least, the introduction to this issue is written by guest
editor, Winrock intern, and household energy program volunteer Sally Maki. 

As always, the Bulletin contains information on upcoming events and new
resources in household energy, indoor air pollution and health. 

We hope the PCIA Bulletin will be an important source of information for
PCIA Partners and others working to improve the lives of millions of women
and children worldwide. We encourage you to submit updates on your work,
announcements of new resources of interest to this community, and feedback
on what information would be most useful and interesting for you to receive
through the Bulletin. 

The last submission date for Issue 13 is August 15, 2007. For detailed
information on the topics highlighted in the Bulletin or to view previous

Please send this along to other institutions and individuals you think would
