Transport• Joel did a great job with transport

• “He was very flexible with situation. He really was great and deserves as much future business and recommendation as we all can provide.”

Project Completion

• The village of about 100 people now has electricity!

• 14 houses are wired with LED lighting and the rest have two rechargeable LED lanterns to use, which can be recharged at the central power station

• The villagers and the Rainforest Foundation workers will be able to charge cell phones, computers, and tablets to help implement their forest management plan for their property.

• The refrigerator will store medicines and vaccines that the village needs

• We installed a LED TV in the community building for educational videos and of course soccer games

• The water pump provides cleaner water

• We installed a floating pickup screen in the dammed spring water pool, the pump, two stages of rusco spin-down filters, a UV sterilizer, and large water tank

• The tank feeds a water pipe that runs down to the village, allowed running water for most of the houses

• The running water is safer and cleaner
