00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:04.290
For her master's thesis, Peace Corps volunteer Sarah Heyman has been taking water

2
00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:04.650
samples

3
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:07.750
from wells and showing the considerable improvement compared to the contamination

4
00:00:07.750 --> 00:00:08.970
levels of the

5
00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:10.090
traditional water sources.

6
00:00:10.690 --> 00:00:13.750
She and other Peace Corps volunteers have reported that the wells are regularly

7
00:00:13.750 --> 00:00:14.830
used, especially

8
00:00:14.830 --> 00:00:15.950
during the drought season.

9
00:00:16.330 --> 00:00:21.730
Once we arrive, we partner directly with Guaimi community leaders to identify the

10
00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:22.090
most

11
00:00:22.090 --> 00:00:23.450
needy in their community.

12
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:25.080
Then we get to work.

13
00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:29.660
Since we're buying the supplies ourselves, we know that 100% of the donated funds

14
00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:32.860
are going directly to installing water tanks and drilling wells in the community.
