Second Day of H2O Project

The Village of Pueblo Modelo

These are just a few photos to give everyone a glimpse of this beautiful village.  The people are warm and welcoming.  There is no electricity or running water.  They eat tortillas and black beans for every meal....rice is too expensive.  They are some of the happiest people I have ever met....

Surrounded by mountains

Wash day

A typical home

The community store.....that serves the 4,500 living in the village!

Sleeping Beauties!

It is very warm here...even at night.  Everyone decided to sleep on the balcony as there was a nice breeze.  Check out Sam making good use of his mosquito netting!

Buenos Dias!

It is 6 a.m. here and I am about to get the kids out of bed.  We will start our day at the job site a little earlier today in order to do the heavy work before it gets too hot.

Today we will continue with the rebar work and then mix and pour the cement.  After lunch, we will distribute more clothing, flip flops, soap, shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, etc to the villagers of Pueblo Modelo.  I will try to get more photos of their homes and beautiful community they have built in 5 short years.

After the distribution, Hannah will do her "Tummy Time" presentation to the mothers of the village.  This is her Senior Project.....which is intended to teach new moms proper care for their newborns and toddlers.

All for now.  Thanks so much for your support!

Love,

Kim
