Water Seminars Cont´d

A volunteer couple, who by all measures were PC superheroes, conceived the idea of training water committees in a more organized, professional way and wrote new lesson plans and expanded on others to create a comprehensive seminar. In the last couple of years, it has evolved to the point where groups of volunteers are putting them on all around the country. We recently put one on out here in Bocas, with five communities participating. I could only get one member of my water committee to go, but I brought along two others who were grateful for the opportunity and seem motivated to bring some of their knowledge back to our wobbly aqueduct and wobblier water committee. It helped that all expenses were paid through grant money, and the food was spectacular.
