Hello Jean and Fatima,

First of all, I would like to thank the Fondation Coup de Coeur for its generous participation to my Barrio Water Project in Honduras last year which was a real success and which since then, brings clean water to 3 000 people.
The great success of this achievement is the springboard that makes me undertake this year a new project of $ 182,650.00 still in Honduras, which this time will bring drinking water to 5 500 people.
The project involves the construction of a cement dam to capture a source of water in the mountains, install a 12 km long water line, repair a water reservoir already in place, Install a sediment filter to get drinking water.
A village committee has been set up to ensure the maintenance of their durability. Also, I will provide you with all the photos of the concerned sites, the construction infrastructure and the inauguration of the project.
Please believe that if I have embarked on a project of this magnitude, it is because once again I foresee a substantial financial participation on your part.
Without the generous contributions of organizations like yours, this kind of a big impact project could not exist.

Thank you again for your continued moral and financial support, which I greatly appreciate.

I await your response with optimism that you know me for.

Hi Jean and Fatima
Sorry for the delay in reporting.  The project is up and running.  The pipeline has all been ordered and work has begun in the dam.  The time consuming aspect of the project is getting the materials 8 kms up the mountain.  I have attached some photos. Thanks for your support!
