One of our team members is down in Honduras right now and had the chance to visit with people in Valle Arriba to help retrain people on how to best use their water filters as well as troubleshoot any problems they were experiencing.
The reports so far have been very encouraging! People are using their filters consistently; they are amazed at how much dirt is being removed from the water. Some people were experiencing some slow filtering, but our team was able to show them how to fix that. The school teachers especially love the filters. They asked for one for each classroom!
People are definitely talking about the filters: one woman asked when we would visit her grandmother's village so that they could have the same access to clean water.
One interesting problem we've observed: the syringes used to clean out the filters are breaking, so we need to bring extra with us in May.
