Water Filter Unit is Complete




The water filter installation team proudly proclaimed this evening at dinner that there are "no leaks" in the system. This is great news - as we leave Arequipa at 5:50 pm on Tuesday!

There are a few last minute details to attend to - but by-in-large, this project is complete. The beauty of this new system is that it will go to provide potable water to a community of children living in an orphanage - an orphanage in a very poor community. The children, many of whom are wards of the Peruvian judicial system, will now have 24-hour-a-day access to clean, filtered water.

HBI is very grateful to Bob Palandech, Max Landon and Bishop Rich Monnie for their dedication in making this project a reality. A special thank you goes to Bishop Monnie for his tireless fundraising. Great job Team!
