Delivery of pilas to more than 40 families in Tehuiste
On May 24th, over 40 families in the communities of Tehuiste Arriba and Tehuiste Abajo were happy to receive a new “pila” at their front doors. The pilas, made of cement, are used for storing water, washing clothes, and various additional proposes around the house. They will provide a vital resource to community residents.

As part of the scholarship program of Caminos de Acción (CdA) and el Centro de Intercambio y Solidaridad (CIS), during the month of March and April workshops have been given in the communities of Tehuiste Arriba and Tehuiste Abajo, home to our scholarship recipients, addressing issues of interest to scholars that have a great impact in their communities.
Where the Water Flows
Water is flowing in Tehuiste!!! We've been working on and supporting this project since September 2012 in La Paz, El Salvador, and in the meantime, families have had to walk at least two hours in one direction for a bucket of water, they've had to play political games with the mayor of their district, and they've built their own community water tank and dug the ditches for the piping to their own homes. And now they have water flowing from a deep, rich well directly to their homes.
