heading back out today
Hola again.
We head back out today to the community. It rained here in San Salvador last night and that makes me happy because I am hoping that it rained in Monseñor Romero last night too. On Sunday there was no water at the faucet that is on the road to Los Enriques. That is pretty bad in the rainy season, to not have any water. Because of the rain that hopefully fell last night, there should be water in the faucet. Right now it works by gravity, coming from a stream half way up the volcano that is close by. The communities are working together to finish the "water project" which is of a grand size and will connect all the faucets in 5 communities and provide water all year round. This will be so beneficial for the town but there will be a cost to the project. Unfortunately now the water will be pumped electrically and the electic bills for the water will cost each household $10 a month. This is super exorbiant for El Salvador given that their normal electrical bill is $3 a month. It is really difficult to reconcile the project in my mind and I am sure more difficult for the people in the 5 communities. I have been helping dig the ditches so that is diverting and hard work compared to teaching English.
Until next time,
Susie (as I am known here in El Salvador)
