Back from the Campo

We just got back from the Campo today, but we are leaving for a retreat until Friday afternoon shortly. It was an amazing experience. The community now has freshwater at their houses, and they no longer have to collect rainwater or go to the river for water.

I stayed with an elderly couple, Tito and Casilda. They were incredibly loving and hospitable. I have plenty of stories to share with you about them later, and I'll post some pictures of their house when I get back from the retreat.

It was a busy 10 days. The first day I worked at the water source, which was a spring atop of a cliff, to build a dam. The next couple of days I helped dig zonjas (ditches) for the tubes. Most of the days I worked at the tanque building a cinder block water tank for the tuberia.

I'll post more soon.
