Water filter!

   We are moved into the house, that is a praise report! There are still a lot of unfinished details, and one of those is we have to walk a good ways to get pure water. Someone then has to haul it back, and it is all up hill. Yes, this will be one of those grandpa stories about the old days of walking a quarter mile just to get a glass of clean water, and by then it will be uphill both ways.

 The way down

















The way back up

This soon could be history now that we have our form for a water filter. It is designed after the biofilters originally made by David Manz
http://www.manzwaterinfo.ca/index.htm. We hope to get started on this project in the coming weeks, and try it on ourselves first. This will open the opportunity to help provide clean water for others on the island here. The good things about this system is it uses mainly natural materials, is afforadable, easily reproduced, and doesn't use any energy.

One of the main health concerns here on the island is parasites, and this will make a difference in Bocachica! It's is hard to believe that in the year 2012 there are still people in the world without clean water.  If you would like to help us help those in need, please contact me on funding this project. Thank you to all of you who help out so much already.
Blessings
