Please visit the link above to the project I am in the middle of implementing. We are installing a water filter in the kitchen sink of my village's kindergarten. Due to high amounts of ammonia, chlorine, and dry residues in the water the cooks have to boil all water before serving food and drinks, which is a HUGELY inconvenient task. The filter will remove up to 99% of contaminants and the filter is being purchased and serviced through a local firm.
I am doing this project with Appropriate Projects, which works with Peace Corps volunteers only and pre-funds water projects up to $500. I will receive this money next week, and in the meantime the project will need to be funded!
School started last week, and I'm excited that soon the 75 adorable, cute and always smiling little kindergartners will soon be getting clean water at school! Additionally, an extra tedious task will be lifted off of the staff's shoulders.
P.S. My birthday is next week, so I'm thrilled about the news of the project being approved and the timing to get this implemented... better than any present!
