Guatemala: November 2016
In November 2016, a team from Water Ambassador’s Canada went to Guatemala. There was a team of 8 who went, 2 of whom are from Lakeside. Brenda Mckee and Danielle Foisy stayed in a little village called Coyolote, and helped the community build bio-sand filters.
Bio-Sand Water Filters use layers of sand and gravel to filter out materials. They have a wet biological layer (a miniswamp)
on top. This small ecosystem kills the pathogens and produces enough water for a single household.
It was a great week of learning the culture,meeting people who love the Lord and being able to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Lakeside church through the missions team was blessed to help fund their outreach.
