CWU
101
Learn
the fundamentals of team leadership, field survey, water
testing and partnership development, with the ultimate objective of empowering operating partners to produce clean water for their communities for years to come.
"Who pulls all
the components of water-related mission trips together? In
CWU-101, the critical skills of team leadership, organization
and coordination of trip components, and the importance of
relationship-building come together. Using the basic 'tools
of our trade', the Water Issues Survey, Covenants, and the
Field Test Kit, we emphasize the dynamics and skills needed
for the very important 'first trip' where the partnership
development work truly begins. The course doesn't stop there,
however. 'Snapshots' of the installation trip and
two follow-up trips are also included, with an emphasis on ensuring water system sustainability.
If you're a detail-oriented
person who likes to "wrap your arms" around a project
and pull it all together, but also is willing to work with
other team members to give them the opportunity to enjoy
their share of the work, then CWU-101 is for you."

Learn
the health, hygiene and spiritual curriculum, teach other
course participants, and finally become capable to lead the
training for in-country (operating partner) instructors.
"Question: How will
people who have had little or no access to clean water know
how to use it properly? Answer: YOU will teach them! Welcome
to CWU 102, the Health Education Track that will teach you
how to teach your international partners about the health
benefits of using clean water appropriately. The curriculum
is very interactive and is engaging for adults and children
alike. Scriptural stories about God's use of water are interwoven
with activities and lessons about using clean water and washing
hands. CWU 102 will prepare you to instruct your partners,
and leave them with the materials and skills they will need
to teach their own community, thus creating sustainable health education."

Standard
System
Build a fully functioning water treatment system
from the ground
up, culminating in the production of clean water, and learn how to pass those skills on to your operating partners.
Reverse Osmosis & Softening (ROS)
The CWU 103 ROS course takes a fully functioning standard system
to the next level by adding water softening and reverse osmosis
components. CWU 103 ROS students must have a thorough understanding
of the standard system or the approval of a CWU instructor before
enrolling in the ROS option.
“CWU 103 is for
you if you are the "handy person" around the church
or the house. You will use your God-given talents, and probably
learn a few new ones, in constructing the clean water system.
At the end, you and your classmates will toast to your hard
work with the lake water you have cleaned through the system! You will then use these skills in the field, working with
operating partners, guiding them to install the system, working and
growing in your faith together to bring clean water to their
community.”

CWU 103 instructor
