In Memory of Travis Hilfer

Yesterday I received a beautiful email from George Lewis – the man responsible for so many people being able to drink clean water in Guatemala – he advised me of a shipment that he is sending of water filters to be distributed. He sent a photo of them and I am sending this to Bonnie so that she can post it on the photobucket.
The water filters have been inscribed in Memory of Travis Hilfer.
This is such a thoughtful, sweet thing to do.
I am very much looking forward to receiving these water filters and being able to send Becky and her family the photos of the people who will be getting these filters in honor of Travis.
Thank you so much George!

Clean Water for Petronila

Ayuda — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 01:47:42 +0000

PIXABAJ–The family of school sponsored student Petronilia recently had a water filter brought to them by the MF staff. This family lives in a remote area and in very primitive conditions.

The water filter made possible by contributions to the Florence Rotary Club will now enable this family to have clean and healthy drinking water.

Last Batch of Filters Distributed

Ayuda — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:02:06 +0000

SOLOLA–The final remnants of the last truckload of water filters were distributed to families in the Solola area. We expect to see the next arrival during April and look forward to bringing clean drinking water to many more people in need.

Juan, who works with Mayan Families, explains how they are assembled and how to care for them to a group of women in the Highlands.

These water filters cost $50 US. each but Florence Rotary Club in Oregon has been providing a fantastic program, buy one and they quadruple the money – so we receive four water filters for the price of one.
