If you remember last March I was working in the Philippines and visited a small village called the Dumpsite. It got it’s name because it is located at the Antipolo city dump.

While there one of our groups goals was to locate and test their water source. We found the source, a small spring, and found it was not suitable for drinking. Over the past few months Mission Love Seeds has funded a project to bring fresh water to the village.

Two tanks have been installed so they can be filled with clean water from the city. Because the village sits on the side of a mountain PVC had to be run from the top of the mountain to the tanks.

Dumpsite villagers helped with much of the labor.

The project is now complete and I have received the following email from Fely, the MLS coordinator in the Philippines

The Installing of the water tank for the sitio dumpsite is already finished with delivered water yesterday, from the first day of digging soil to install the 240 meters of PVC from the top of the hill through the place where the water tank place was finished for 3 days with some rains, and digging to put the post concrete that will put the water tank which takes for two days, digging and put the post for the roof , and putting the metal roof for a day, do the concrete floor and putting the other side of fence for a day, and yesterday they do the finishing touch of putting the sign, the tarp which cover the tank to secure it from dust, and putting the fence in front and at the other side, the last is the delivery of the water. You can see the faces of the people there how greatful they are, that the Lord them Bless by means of this water tank, its really they are chosen.
The sitio dumpsite now has a water, the people there are really Bless that the Lord use The Grace Foundation of Destin and Mission Love Seeds Inc. this project fullfilled. In behalf of my family and the families of Sitio Dumpsite are really thankful to all people concern, I am personally thankful to all the people of dumpsite who really helps us to finished this.
Again thank you very much
God Bless You

Fely
