Once again we had the pleasure of spending a week with five visitors from Maine. Jim and Marjorie Dawson (our fearless leaders) Robin and Rick (Rotary members from Maine), and Raquel (an undergrad who helped us translate) all came down for a week in March. During their trip we visited the filter workshop and learned how to install filters. Jim and Robin drew on their technical knowledge to give us some important pointers about how to avoid crack in the filters and how to repair already cracked filters. We also took trips to the communities to deliver and install filters as well as give deparasiting medication and monitor filters already in use.

We were also lucky enough to welcome 14 more guests to Santa Bárbara. Rotary members and supporters from the greater Detroit area in Michigan as well as friends from Canada also joined us for a few days to learn about the filter project. They visited the filter workshop, received a lesson on how to install filters and then got their hands dirty in the filed installing filters.
