Our team is drilling and installing a well for the community of La Guaruma in Honduras where they do not currently have an adequate water supply. Consider today all the things you casually use running water for, now imagine it's not there. Most of us didn't do anything to produce the water, we were just born into a place that had it. The rest of the world is not so lucky.
The key to this project is to drill the well and install the pump prior to our team's arrival so we can lay pipe from the pump house to the homes in the community and clean containment tanks. The trick is finding enough water.
Feeling a little like driving the ball 90 yards down the field only to fumble on the 5-yard line, we hit the water about a week ago, but after drilling about 250 ft, there just wasn't enough flow to support a well. We had to move on and decide if we should invest in a second attempt further away. Unfortunately, they don't drill for free.
We agreed, raised the money, and identified an alternate location. Thankfully, we were notified over the weekend that we found water and were able to drill to a spot with enough flow to support the project. Touchdown!
