Luis update on filters

 Luis went to Viota, a village outside Bogota, where there is no potable water. It is a rural community that is agriculturally based and gets their water from the local river. He joined another organization to help them make and install the Bio-sand filters. They were sponsored by the Rotary clubs from Canada. They were able to install 59 filters. He was happy to be continuing in the work of helping bring people drinking water to people that do not have that luxury.

 This January we are planning on installing more filters near where we lived in Bocachica. There are two small villages that are a couple of hours away from where we lived that get water from a local river that is very contaminated. The locals use a process that takes a while to treat the water. If we can install these bio-filters it would speed the water treatment process up as well as give them a better quality of water. We are wanting to start to raise funds for this project. If you are interested in supporting water for people who have no access to drinking water let us know. As we get closer to time I will give another update with more details. Thank you for those that support us, and enjoy the pictures!

They had four filter molds that helped speed up the process, but it took over a month to complete all the filters.
