It was a great opportunity to review our annual Rotary report for Maine with Maria, introduce Oscar to the project and visit the workshop of Eric Rodriguez. The Santa Barbara Agua Pura team, Maria & Oscar, and members of the Rotary Club filter committee all met with Eric to discuss his interest and ability to work with filter production.

We are still discussing filter prices and possible sources of sand. In the past we have gotten our sand from the river but it has been inconsistent and we have had lots of problems with washing the sand and not having consistent flow rates when we install the filters. The Santa Barbara Rotarians, Nineth & Eric have all gone out to the riverbanks to take samples of possible sand sources, but have not yet found anything promising.
Maria has been investigating the possibility of a central source for sand and has found a provider in southern Honduras. We are still discussing the economic feasibility of this.
