Water filtration update and info

Recently we installed a six-month water purification system in a families house in the city of Malingas, Peru. Here's a quick glance of what it looks like:


Normally these families get water from the canal that runs through this and many other small villages in the area. This water is gross. If looking at it you would think it wasn't that bad, it's pretty clear and looks somewhat clean. I'd say cleaner than a lot of water I've seen before. But in this water, people drive into and wash their vehicles, bath and wash and do a number of other things. We were driving down the road one day that runs adjacent to the water, and out of the corner of my eye I catch a naked man trying to squat secretly in the middle of the canal. I don't know the word that comes to your mind, but the first one in mine was aquadump. If you're wondering why I just wrote that my answer is because its real. People are drinking this water, using it to cook their meals and do so many other things....and some of us are picky and complain about drinking tap water. 


So here's the deal. We are ordering more of the filters, actually 100 more for fifty families in the area, so that they can go a year with a supply clean water. If you can help please do, below will be the avenues to which that can be done. If you can't that's cool, just pray for the cause and the people and the mission. I'm not trying to guilt anyone into anything, that's completely wrong, I just want to tell you about what's going on with something that's really cool. It's going to bless many people and open many doors.
