GREAT NEWS: Final update #6 on the Navajo Water Grant.

Hello Fellow USA and International Rotarians and Friends:
On September 25 & 26, we achieved the final inside tap water installation of the 32nd and 33rd Navajo homes supported by this Rotary Foundation Global Water Grant.  These two installations enjoyed several Rotarians, Spouses and Friends of Rotarians providing their “hands on” participation.  It was a great learning experience, Rotary fellowship and Fun for all.
 
The Jim’s: Ida 77 yrs. Joe 84 yrs.  Have lived in home without inside running water and toilet since the early 70’s.  Do have electricity. Water stored in three 50-gallon barrels that needs to last one month unless their son brings water hauled in a pick-up truck. After installation: 1,200-gallons and refilled by water truck
