WaterLog

I’ve added several new video clips to the website recently, covering recent trips Water 1st made to Bangladesh, India and Honduras. Water 1st travelled to Honduras in August, 2006, and to India and Bangladesh in September/October. The footage online now was part of the film presented at the Give Water • Give Life Benefit at Benaroya Hall in Seattle in November.

The Bangladesh film features a beautiful song by a woman from a beneficiarly community in the slums of Dhaka City, as well as some authentic Bangladeshi dancing by another community member. We are often greeted with this sort of emotional outpouring of thanks from people who have benefitted from the work of Water 1st, and it’s especially meaningful to me to be able to share those moments of creativity and thanks with people here in the United States.

I hope you’ll take a look at the India and Honduras films, too. It is so exciting to see the work taking place around the world thanks to the contributions of donors here in the U.S. In India we saw several hand–dug wells being drilled. This is a fascinating process which would be hard to put into words. Fortunately you can see it take place for yourself online now. In San Gabriel, Honduras you can meet the community as they construct their new water system, and hear first–hand of the joy and struggles of that process.
You can find the new clips here:

I hope you enjoy the new material, and I would very much appreciate your feedback and comments.
