Installing Water Filters in the Namatala Slum

I think I can speak for the team when I say this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of the summer. Cami and Kara are the team leads on this project, but they have been kind enough to let all of us be involved. We have raised money for about 30 water filters we are installing throughout the Namatala slum. The people at Child of Hope know the community really well so they have been helping us get the best sites for the filters. Every Wednesday and Friday we go to areas and teach. The first week is a basic sanitation class, the second week is about nutrition/first aid (and talking about the water filters), and the third week is actually bringing in the Water Filter and training the "manager" on how to use it and keep it up. This is always an incredible experience, seeing the joy on the faces of the people in the community who are so grateful to have clean water. I couldn't agree more with Cami when we were riding a boda-boda back from Namatala on Friday (after installing a water filter) and she said "If I could do this everyday I would be happy for the rest of my life"
