So first off, the water tower is still being used at the old site. They keep the pump at one of the homes on the weekend.
As I look out on Nicaragua from the top of El Fortin, it puts it alll in perspective. The war, the work the delegation has done, it all seems like it will solve it all. But one thing in solidarity cannot solve the problem.
I guess it would make it easy to say our goal is pointless, but I think just the opposite. While one war, or one project may not solve the problems, it helps some. And when you put the individual efforts in total, it creates the beautious landsape that you look out on. I can't change the world myself, but I can encourage the next generation to make the next change.

Tom, this is very interesting that you felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of aid needed in the village. At times i feel overwhelmed with work and school. I have learned to take each day as a new clean-slate and see what i can accomplish. Very interesting to see your thoughts
