Linda Werts, from the Newark Rotary Club, joined our Zoom meeting to inform us about a service project in Yucatan, Mexico building a water purification building and system. The project will take place in a community of around 500 people in Tabi, Mexico. It requires a team of ten to twenty members and Linda is looking for volunteers.
The project includes installing a reverse osmosis water treatment system as well as educating locals about its operation and working with children and teaching hygiene lessons. The project is also an important economic development for the region. Volunteers are needed in trip planning, health education and the construction of the building and water system. Hopefully the building can be finished in the spring and the water system installation by the fall, but with present COVID restrictions these dates may be changed. A recent e-mail stated that the project has been put on hold for 6 months due to COVID. The project is a part of Living Waters for the World.
If you might be interested in volunteering or donating money please contact Linda Werts at lwerts@aol.com or LivingWatersfortheWorld.org
