It's already been a full week and I am heading off to Nicaragua tomorrow. A hectic shooting and traveling schedule visiting some interesting projects funded by CRS and others through local partners here in Brazil. The first part dealt with an HIV/AIDS project in Porto Alegre providing some services, counseling and education to help people deal with their disease.
In the north in the area surrounding Feira the projects deal with the erratic supply of water int eh northern part of Bahia state. They have contructed cisterns fed by the roofs on their homes as well as other methods to collect and store water for the dry seasons. The project also involves teaching better agricultural practices such as diversifying what they grow so that they avoid exhausting their soil. IT has had the effect of allowing folks to grow enough to sell to improve their quality of life. More to share but 3:30 comes pretty soon.
