Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
3. Business Model Introduction
• business models are….
“…at heart, stories — stories that explain how enterprises work. A good
business model answers […] age-old questions,
‘Who is the customer?
And what does the customer value?’
It also answers the fundamental questions every manager must ask:
How do we make money in this business?
What is the underlying economic logic that explains how we
can deliver value to customers at an appropriate cost?”
Joan Magretta
“…really a set of assumptions or hypotheses”

A plenary discussion with all participants.
Examples
Scheduling is necessary (days/towns…)
Parallel septic tank could hold excess waste
Construct another DTF
Sludge drying bed can be used as buffer for thick sludge, where weather conditions allow (dry)
DTF may not meet the demand
Risk of illegal dumping
Sensitization is needed
For proper communication to avoid miscommunication
Make people (exhausters and community) understand the need for a schedule
Develop system for the entire process
Partnerships with other institutions/organizations (e.g. CBOs) to help monitoring toilets – to help with scheduling
