Since my last post, we accomplished much. Events changed some but we still were able to determine many opportunities for us to serve the water needs of the island. On Wednesday, we traveled 2 1/2 hours up in to the mountains of Flores to a very remote village that was in real need of water. They currently have to walk down a very steep high about 100 feet, which is about half way down to the river bed. There is a cistern there where a small spring comes out but the water flow is very slow. But this is where over a 1000 people come to get water, twice a day. It was unbelieveable!! The village was not expecting us and had no idea why we were there. But, they came for everywhere and greeted us like best friends. I have never been received more graciously than I did in this village. They have a complicated situation and we don't know that the Water4 technique will work but we do think we will be able to find help for their need. The trip up the mountain was on very narrow, twisted road but absolutely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Below is a group picture with some of the villagers. Awesome experience.
