Good food and beautiful jungles.  See you all soon.

Once constructed, the system will be maintained by affordable monthly tariffs based on usage.  The tariffs will make up-keep possible by employing a resident to oversee the system part-time.  A work-trade situation would also be available for anyone who may not be able to afford the few dollars per month.  Your donations will enable us to provide clean water to Carlos’ house, his mother’s and brother’s houses, the high school and elementary school.  The first $500 donated to this project will be matched by a private donor.
