rapid fire




So here is a lightning update of what has been going on here.

- 50th anniversary celebration went really smoothly. Saw over 200 former and current volunteers, heard lots of cool stories, everyone loved it.

- Finished the water system in Alta Gracia, so know everyone has water! People are starting to put faucets in their homes, which is really cool.

-The director of the grant which i applied to complete the water system visited the project and was very impressed. So impressed that he encouraged me to apply for a follow up grant to satisfy some other obvious needs the community has, like cement floors and tin roofs. Currently working on that right now.
- NExt week is our close of service conference. Administration goes over all of our final steps in order to leave this country in one piece. We will update our resumes, do all kinds of paper work, medical tests, etc. It is a 3 day ordeal, but should be fun because we all
get to stay at the Quality Inn!
-After the conference Stephanie is coming to visit for about a week! Fun times! Pumped about that.

HEre are some photos!

Brand new faucet!
One of our projects. Complete this bathroom. Imagine having diarrhea here. Everyone can see.
