Water Tank Project


Last week our focus was on resolving the water shortage problem at the Seminary. Volunteers from two UMC churches (Ondas de Paz and Restauracion) came and worked with us to clean and refurbish one round water tank that sits on top of a concrete column/platform, and another rectangular tank that sits on the ground (perhaps we would call this a cistern). The rectangular tank will be used as the back-up tank for our primary tank, so 200 meters of water pipe had to be laid between the two tanks. This involved trenching, laying, covering back up, and also concrete work where the line had to cross two driveways. They worked extremely hard, and we are thankful. We think both tanks will be up and functional sometime this week or the following week. Nancy finished sewing curtains for the men's dorm room, and has now started working on the curtains for the ladies' dorm. Thank you for your continued prayers. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
