@Brian, just like you rightly ...

@Brian, just like you rightly pointed out children are very effective change agents in the society at large not just in the field of WASH, they use their innocence to instill guilt in adults when they make their innocent observations about a situation. Just imagine a father who is a drunk, who comes home every night drunk. There is always this sense of guilt when a child opens up to tell his father the truth about his drinking habit. If this strength can be harnessed and used in programming, the results would be glaring. Children pay more detailed attention to issues than adults and in most cases they are in a better position to reveal issues adults would conceal, take for example pointing open defecation sites in a community. They would even serve you with certain classified information regarding whom in the community still practice open defecation and where they go. Therefore I totally support you in this respect and will urge WASH practitioners to explore this avenue for change especially regarding the WASH Sector.
