Nice to see you here again! Your new photo reminds me of a environmental lighting project I was involved in back in the 90's. I collaborated the with Ekku Peltomäki who is a "legend" in Finland as a Light Artist in Finland.
The park you are walking through could be the Esplanad park in Helsinki in fall.
I wish you welcome to join e.g SICU BUSINESS & ECONOMICS, SICU BRAND MARKETING, SICU WEB TRACKING & ANALYTICS, SICU TRENDS & FUTURE VISIONS, SICU ART, SICU MUSIC, SICU TRAVEL and/or SICU FUN, or any of the 30 Special groups within the field of your interests.
Have a nice weekend!
TOM
It was very nice to see you online here on SICU SSGN as I have not "seen" a sign from you in a long period of time.
It would be most interesting to know about your doings and projects of today. If you have something interesting you would like to share, please write about it in the SICU SYMPHONY FOR OUR FUTURE or in the SICU CSR group.
If I can do anything in order to support you, don't hesitate to contact me.
Have a nice and productive week!
Best regards,
TOM

Thank you for the valuable info. Sure, Global Water & Sanitation Initiative (GWSI) of the International Federation of Red Cross would find Naiade very useful especially to meet situations created by natural disastors and calamities to proide safe drinking water to the effected people, without electricity.
Naiade was used for the communities effected by tsunami and earthquakes etc.
Naiade is also liked by Rotary Club.
Regards / Mini

Thank you very much for joining the SICU SSG Network!
Concerning NAIADE, are you aware of the Global Water & Sanitation Initiative (GWSI) of the International Federation of Red Cross?
I will send you the presentation of GWSI by e-mail. Could Red Cross be interested in NAIADE as well? At least a very interesting question.
Best regards,
Tom
