For her master's thesis, Peace Corps volunteer Sarah Heyman has been taking water samples
from wells and showing the considerable improvement compared to the contamination levels of the
traditional water sources.
She and other Peace Corps volunteers have reported that the wells are regularly used, especially
during the drought season.
Once we arrive, we partner directly with Guaimi community leaders to identify the most
needy in their community.
Then we get to work.
Since we're buying the supplies ourselves, we know that 100% of the donated funds
are going directly to installing water tanks and drilling wells in the community.

Para su tesis de maestría, Sarah Heyman, voluntaria del Cuerpo de Paz, ha estado tomando muestras de agua
de los pozos y mostrando una mejora considerable en comparación con los niveles de contaminación de las
fuentes tradicionales de agua.
Ella y otros voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz han informado que los pozos se usan regularmente, especialmente
durante la temporada seca.
Cuando llegamos, colaboramos directamente con los líderes de las comunidades ngäbe para identificar a las personas
más necesitadas de su comunidad.
Después nos ponemos a trabajar.
Como compramos los materiales nosotros mismos, sabemos que el cien por ciento de los fondos donados
se destina directamente a instalar tanques de agua y perforar pozos en la comunidad.
