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 me= eting went well. The study is nearing completion and it is a thorough hy= drological studying being done with the assistance of Andrew an English= Hydrologist with many years of experience in Nicaragua. The locati= on of the well has been decided and it will be located in Las Sirenas. O= n the morning of Saturday March 27th we will have a meeting in Nuevo with t= he mayor and several other people of importance present to discuss the = projectwith 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 curren= t crisis in Telica and we discussed at length various methods to ensure= even distribution of the water to the 58 houses in Nuevo. Conchita Sha= ri and I left the meeting feeling very happy and we really see this pro= ject coming together. I believe in the mayor of Telica and feel that the= y are sincerely doing everything they can to ensure clean potable water= for the people of the three communities. The mayor also stressed t= he importance of getting the people of Nuevo involved in the process an= d making them realize that this is not Friends/Students/Telica's water = project but the communities and they need to take ownership. A coordinat= or 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.. T= his is happening!! In two weeks we will begin to move forward! Michae= l *** You can unsubscribe from this list by sending an email = to fsf60k-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field= .
