I want to express my deepest appreciation to all of you who gave your financial support to make this project a reality. I still do not know who you are so please contact me if you made a donation so that I may extend my personal thanks to you! The Peace Corps Partnership grant does not allow me to see who donated until long after the project is completely finished (or next May).
Your efforts will be great news for Miguel, the president of our latrine committee and the whole community of Quebrada Pabón. Although it is still raining way to much to start any kind of construction, I might be able to get a head start on the latrine seats now that the grant has been funded ahead of schedule! Nothing happens ahead of schedule here... wouldn't that be fun to see if I can actually pull it off!
For those of you that were thinking about donating or were planning to, there are LOTS of other great projects going on here in Panama that could use your support! I will be blogging about them soon in case anyone is interested.
More on the latrine project and other tales from the Comarca, soon!
Many thanks,
Kat
