Day Seven:  I am posting a video on Bio Sand Filters, pretty interesting if you've never seen one. It amazes me that this simple device is such a lifesaver and so inexpensive to build. What is so great about this technology is that volunteers are working with the local population, teaching them how to build and maintain these things. Sort of like the old saying "give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach him how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." Apparently these bio filter boxes were invented by a professor in Canada in the 90's and are being installed by many humanitarian outreach groups. This video was made by a group called "All Hands" and was filmed in Haiti.

 I am having a serious debate about whether to drink coffee this Sunday since I had to deal with another day of caffeine withdrawals on Monday. Only time will tell if I will cave under the temptation.... will I be a glutton for punishment? I love the way people are interested in what I'm doing and they ask how my water journey is going.  It's very encouraging to know that people really do care about their world and the people in it.
