Big Update

So for those of you who remember me talking about some engineering consulting I did for the farmer's group a few months ago, I have a big update for you! Along with the information and calculations I provided them, they applied for a grant last month and just a few days ago we found out that they won the funding! They were given $40,000 US by the United Nations to purchase a solar pump for the irrigation system, construct an open channel from one drainage pond to the other, fund classes and education for the farmers group and other various needs. I have to give all the credit for the grant proposal to Johnny and Alicia, they put in a lot of hard work to see the grant process through. As one PCV said last week during our Early Service Conference, "you need the whole team to achieve the dream" or something like that... lol! i think when he said it it was much more elegant and inspirational but you get the idea.
