Flores, Ecuador

Agua Viva started the year installing a new water purification system and bottling operation at 21 de Abril Vocational School in Flores, Ecuador. For the first time, this community will be enjoying pure clean ozonated water. What a great day! Over 500 indigenous people flocked to our celebration on Friday. Agua Viva purchased sandwiches for everyone and, yes, the water was free! With eight volunteers from the United States and another 20 volunteers from Ecuador, Agua Viva had plenty of time and plenty of man-power to complete the installation and the week-long education program. To top it off, the local Rotary International club visited our installation and we created new friendships with the Riobamba Rotary Chapter. On Monday night, Rotary Riobamba invited Agua Viva to speak at the local club! What a great bunch of servants. Service Above Self!
