    The original story referred to a complaint filed in 2008 by the Asociación Chichigalpa por la Vida (ASOCHIVIDA), with support from the NGO, Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), to the World Bank through its independent complaints office for private sector projects- the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman(CAO).  ASOCHIVIDA  represents about 2,000 community workers affected by chronic kidney disease in Nicaragua and has been working with the company, an IFC client, at a dialogue table convened by The CAO.  Parties to the dialogue jointly chose Boston University School of Public Health to conduct an independent investigation into the causes of the disease.
