so as we discussed the water project is functioning the inaguration took place a couple weeks ago and andrew had some leak points that needed to be addressed. all in all phase one is completed phase 2 will be to get 20 people to test the arsenic removal filters and see how they work in community ect. phase 3 still needs funding and we need to discuss how to help make this happen between friends, fne, sf60k. i think we will learn quickly how people feel about and treat the new system. the new system needs to begin shifting the power into the hands of the community. the responsibility for paying etc needs to come from the beneficiaries. sf60k will be continuing a project started by the jen lazo group to put floors in to the houses in nuevo families are paying 20% of the cost ( i do not have the exact figures with me) this will reduce parisities (like hook worm). field of dreams update vicente padilla signed with the red sox and a friend of mine who works for el nuevo diario (and lives in boston) will have access to him. also during the fundraiser we did in december at eastern standard restaurant marry lucchino (one of the red sox owners) was present and agreed to help the restaurant do some sort of fundraiser for the FOD i am working on coordinating something with my contacts at the restaurant and will let you know as i know more . as for trip dates groups related to FNE will be in chac from the 4-20 of march and 29-8 of april there is a trip planned for late april as well sometime around the 20th. i can get other groups schedules as well if you need. peter ask emily and the miami folks what there schedule is. sorry i could not make it tonight. talk soon mc
