Pure Water for the World

This update of our time in Honduras is to show a behind-the-scenes view of what is involved to bring about a development project. I hope to share with you the rewards as well as the frustrations of such an undertaking. I would also like to document all the necessary local support and follow-up needed long after the installation has been paid for. From my experience in Uganda and the Peace Corps, this sustainability is the most challenging aspect to achieve and is very often neglected as a result

Week #6 - Goodbye Danli

After we dropped Dave off at the airport for his flight home to the DR, we drove back to Danlí and returned the truck. The next day we went strait to the taller to see how our new cement vibrator is working out and we found them working 7 days a week to catch up for lost time. We also created a checklist for everything we would need for the project start-up in La Ceiba. We also took advantage of the slow week to do some research for an upcoming water conference presentation. Then it was time for our going away party. We'll miss all our new friends in Danlí.
