Chiquimullia Guatemala Day 2
Considering the issues we faced this morning when arrived at the El Shaddai church to build their water purification system, we made amazing progress. we needed to deal with the slanted wall issue plus the water and electricity in that part of town was not working! Despite all that, we actually finished the system. We would have sanitized and pressure tested the system, but the water supple was off and or too low. So, we'll do that tomorrow.
The education team taught 70 kids today about hygiene and how to use clean water effectively.
There will more education classes on Wednesday and thursday. Since the system will be done I'll probably get involved in that.
Some church installed and basically abandoned a system in Guazapan so we're going to check it out and see if its repairable and maybe train the local church people to run it.
Very hot and humid. The house we're in doesn't have hot water in the shower, so that is fun.
Here is a picture of the system. The group picture is in front of the house across the street from the work site. A lot of the house here are just a huge blank wall with a metal gate. The group is all of our team (except me) plus Our Guatemalan helper and 2 church members who helped.
Time for bed, David
