The water truck
Filling a pila
A pila full of waterAfter completing construction on the women's center in Mirador Oriente, the builing has not been used very much. In a community that has no running water, getting the water for the showers and pilas was a bigger challenge than we anticipated. Imagine that, in Honduras.
Marc and Milton have been working almost everyday trying to make sure water was there on a regular basis.
Today we had some friends in from Atlanta. Our friends in Atlanta were the ones that were responsible for raising the money for this project. We took them took out to Mirador Oriente to see the builing. While we were there viewing the building and hanging the shower curtains, Marc received a call that one of the congressman was supplying the water and the first truck was on its way. Of course, we waited. We did not even have to wait very long before the truck arrived.
The truck came rolling up the hill and I excitedly watched as all the pilas were filled. Tomorrow morning the women's center will be open and women will be scrubbing their clothes clean on the pilas. Praise God.

Praising God with you!!
love you, Janet
Dear Terri,
A big amen to that !! love, Ginger
And I will add another Praises Be to God and praise to all that have been working on this project. It's hard to imagine being without water on a regular basis. Recently we were without water for less than 2 days. It was a small inconvenience compared to those without for most of the time. I am over-joyed for the delivery of water that will benefit those in this community. Love and blessings to all. Sue
