Latrine Green

Hiya!

I've gotten a lot of people asking how they can help out. What wonderful folks I know. Currently, besides being more than welcome to visit and help carry blocks....


Click HERE or the little latrine if you'd like to make a donation to our Community Latrines project.

A BIG THANKS to the community of St. Thomas Aquinas for their donations which have enabled me to start the project. We are planning another training workshop for all interested masons and carpenters in surrounding communities to learn a new, more sustainable design for the end of August. We then will be conducting a health/sanitation and maintenance course for beneficiaries in collaboration with the Dr. in our community. Then the construction.


Here is a photo of one of the water filters I've been installing in El Firme. They are BIG huh?! This family (Maria, Jose, and Uva - yes we call the little girl grape) is my favorite success story currently. They are great people and friends.
















On an unrelated note - I am related to these two funny face makers. I got to visit my cousins Maddie and Henrique on a quick trip back home to Cali. Life is good.
Thanks for reading!
Love - Sarah
