Good afternoon everyone.
Conchita Shari and I along with several of the students representing our two
trips met with the mayor of Telica this morning at 9am.
The meeting went well.
The study is nearing completion and it is a thorough hydrological studying
being done with the assistance of Andrew an English Hydrologist with many years
of experience in Nicaragua.
The location of the well has been decided and it will be located in Las Sirenas.
On the morning of Saturday March 27th we will have a meeting in Nuevo with the
mayor and several other people of importance present to discuss the project
with the people of Nuevo.
The mayor's office will be sending an email today explaining what has been done
and how we will continue to proceed.
They stressed their desire to ensure the study is executed and competed
properly and thoroughly so we can go through this process properly and solve
this issue once and for all.
The mayor is going to be figuring out a way to allocate some money to help with
the current crisis in Telica and we discussed at length various methods to
ensure even distribution of the water to the 58 houses in Nuevo.
Conchita Shari and I left the meeting feeling very happy and we really see this
project coming together.
I believe in the mayor of Telica and feel that they are sincerely doing
everything they can to ensure clean potable water for the people of the three
communities.
The mayor also stressed the importance of getting the people of Nuevo involved
in the process and making them realize that this is not
Friends/Students/Telica's water project but the communities and they need to
take ownership.
A coordinator fot the project has been appointed from the area but from
outside of the 3 communities and he will be present at the meeting on the 27th..
This is happening!!
In two weeks we will begin to move forward!
Michael
