Conference call- Wednesday the 16th

The travel team is doing well. The conference call lasted about 30 minutes but was very productive. We learned that the sanitation team is ahead of schedule. Bill gave an update on cesspools and the percolation tests and the potential water sources that we are considering. Mike, Jamee, and Joan (she did not talk due to laryngitis problems) gave their progress report on the tiling, concrete, and so on for the bathhouses. They are very happy with way the project is going so far.
In Diana's update, she told us that one of the teachers worked part-time on a radio show. The travel team, along with Joe, and the principal of the school, had a chance to tell what the project meant to them. This radio show was aired and a few of the local parents came to the school to check out the project. Lastly, Diana shared the information that was collected for the electrical team (solar panels and potential installation changes).
