Today, Manuel, Tomas, Josefina, Maury and I went to Xejox to continue to deliver water filters. It was a hot day and at times you would like a drink of cool water, until you you see it. This is the water from the first house that we went to.
We explained the system to each family and showed them how to maintain it.
This is the family of Damiel Cog Calachij. He was in school when we visited his home.
The second home was Maria Gomez Aqui. She is on the left of the photo. She is 14 years old and is in the 5th grade. Her brother, Santigao Gomez Aqui was not at home but we found him at the next home.
The boy in the red shirt lives in this home and his name is Santiago Gomez Gomez. He is 9 years old and is in the second grade. The boy in the green is Santiago Gomez Aqui from the earlier house.
This house belongs to Casmiro Mendez Coj. He is in the striped shirt and he is in the fifth grade.
The family asked us to sit for a few minutes. At first it is uncomfortable sitting on someone's bed but then you realize everything is in that room. So, Tomas and I sat near each other and then I looked down, and saw this hen laying on her eggs. In the same room were 3 other brooding hens!
This is the house of Transitio Mendez Barrera and Vitalino Mendez Barrera. They were not there because one family member was sick in a different house.
Their father has a small stash of tomatoes and different things to sell. Tomas bought 6 pounds of small green tomatoes.This is the last home we visited for the day and we also ate lunch here. We had wonderful chicken soup and tortillas.
This young man is Marvin Geovany Calachj Toy. He is 7 years old and enjoys school.
It was a tiring day but a good one. We stopped on the way home and bought some ice cream. That always makes the long drive more a little better.
