November 2011: The first adult group continued the work began by the youth, building pilas, latrines and floors. We also held a health training session which included general hygiene, oral care, nutrition and a Q&A session with a nurse. Pastor Andrew led a preaching workshop for area pastors.

March 2011: Our first group went to El Coyolar. The community already had running water, thanks to a King’s project in 2010. They were using large plastic buckets to store water, so we started building pilas. Many homes did not have latrines, so we built as many as we could. Almost all homes had dirt floors, so we also started putting in concrete floors. These three basic changes have a strong effect on the health of the community.
