Laura was absent for the assembly on the 21st July.
The community of Los Torres has essentially completed their water project, & it culminated with a Fiesta/inauguration on the 11th June at the Los Torres Primary school.
Holly provided a brief summary to Laura, since Cedesa are continuing to work with Los Torres,(on other than the Cistern Project).
The Phase II/III cistern project is essentialy done (a few small loose ends, a few cisterns not waterproofed, but all are catching rain; a problem with lamina for one roof and one faucet on a tinaco) ... we talked mostly about the road project for a couple hours and traspatio design about a half hour. We are hesitant about an additional Phase in Los Torres (there were 7 new people interested) because Phase II/III has been a little problematic with people not working together as well as previous phases.
It seems the first phase of a community is generally the most enthusiastic & motivated, with the "slower adopters" being less motivated & less participatory. For this reason it is ideal to have a thorough saturation at phase I stage, & reach as many as possible for the first "push".
Next assembly for Cedesa/Los Torres (not Rotary water project)
August 18th 3pm
