Why is there paint on my hand?

 

 

I've been asked why is there paint on my hand in 2 of my FaceBook photos.  When Living Waters World Missions builds a pure water system, as part of the educational component, a poster is made on a 4' x 8' sheet.  In Spanish, or whatever the local language is, we write at the top: "Pure Water+ Clean Hands = Healthy Life".  Then all the kids at the orphanage, church or school, their adult leaders and everyone on the LWWM team put a hand print on the poster.  The poster is a prominent part of the Celebration, when the system is dedicated.  So far, I have been on 2 trips, the red hand is at the Alpha and Omega Church at Santiago de Atitlan (2 systems in one week, one at the church and one at their school!) and the blue hand is at the El Shaddi Church in Chiquimuillia.  All 3 sites are in Guatemala.

Why I go to Guatemala

I am a board member of Living Water World Missions is a non-profit organization located in Visalia, California existing to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in the context of providing clean water in communities that need it. While our current ministry focus is in the Central American country of Guatemala, we are poised to install systems all around the world. We assist and train nationals in the building of clean water systems which use filters and ozone to remove germs and bacteria from city water sources, making it safe to consume. In addition, we train parents, children, and interested others in germ theory, hygiene, and the appropriate uses of clean water.
