This week was a great week! After having stood the cable guy up twice when he didn't show up on time, we finally got our internet installed on Monday. Tuesday was our weekly Rotary meeting with a twist. Wednesday was another big success, the taller received their first payment from MAMUCA and we identified a sand source for our filter media. Thursday, we spent at the taller training them on how to prepare their sand and install filters. Friday was my birthday and we celebrated it with our Peace Corps friends eating pizza with anchovies and olives.
I have another blurry picture of them hanging from our upstairs window. Notice the termite trail in the upper left of the picture.
Here is Augustine talking about the new addition to the Rotary house and coincidently, all the beer has been finished
The taller receiving their first check
The San Juan River and it's amazing sand
Washing the sand with a drop of bleach to kill all the e-coli
Installing our first filter so the taller workers can now have clean water
This is an example of the four layers of sand that is used as our filter media

Rob, Seamus forwarded this to me and I was so glad to read it all. I have lost touch with where you are in this life so was glad to see that it has meaning for you. Hoping you and Rasa are good for each other, and it seems you are. Love to both of you, Sally Innes (Seamus' mom)
