Guatemala - working projects

Digging a well for the Village of Faith. It is 35ft deep and is DUG by manual labour; one guy is digging, one guy is pulling up the bucket, and another is hauling the dirt away. There is NO machines... they use a bucket, chisel, and a small shovel. This picture is looking down into the well. They make $1US/hr.

This is a bridge project we are working on. The ditch is 12ftx12ft and is used during the rainy season... water races down the trench and this is what they would use to cross. The people also dump their garbage in the ditch and usually ends up in the ocean as the waters carries it down.

This is ALL I can do at the moment as the internet is slow... but it is rewarding helping those in need in practical ways.
