After days in the field the WiL team reflects on some of the key highlights of their work. Each team member was give a small book – FIELD NOTES compliments of www.fieldnotesbrand.com to write stories, highlights and work notes. Congrats to Jess Lusin from Odyssey Preparatory Academy for turning her FIELD NOTES in first!
- The partnership between Zali Village and Summit Church brought the opportunity to distribute 1000 filters, host hygiene clinics in the community of 1000, in each classroom and for a group of Mommas and children in need of guidance. Time with the Chief and Elders was priceless – and realtionships have blossomed. Summit Commuity Church was welcomed back anytime to stay in the village and work side by side with them – they are family. Summit will work to return and rebuild the fencing around the water dugout – to keep the animals from contaminating their water source. This will be the one of the steps in the solution.
- Odyssey Preparatory Academy has partnered wtih Kpaachiyili to help bring 500 filters, host hygiene clinics in each classroom as well as play soccar, learn about their need for books in their library and move forward with the next step to clean water solution.
Both villages have been set up with Community Water Solutions Systems – where women in the village manage the clean water process and distribution. A fantastic water solution to supply clean water at a very small cost – while also creating a small business for the local woman
- Meetings to develop WiL partnerships with Tamale Rotary, Pure Home Water Systems, Community Water Solutions, King’s Village, District Assembly and Chief sessions, Geologist Timothy Boare Geological Round Table, as well as strategic meetings to discuss the value of partnership with each village – 290 – in the Tolon an Kumbungu Districts.
