What do you get when you combine an 8 foot deep hole, 20 Texas teenagers, and an “earthy” smell?  A new septic system for our clinic in Camanchaj, of course. Up until last week, our old “septic system” consisted of about 6 very deep holes scattered around the clinic. Well, we finally ran out of space in those holes one short week after the Susanna Wesley preschool opened on clinic grounds last January. However, with lots of hard work from the Hurst United Methodist Youth Group and generous donations from churches in the States, we’ve now installed a brand-new Water/Waste Treatment System!

In addition to working on the new septic system, the Hurst UMYF spent the week giving our clinic a much-needed face-life, inside and out.  Thanks to the sweat, creativeness and great attitude of this team of youth and their adult leaders, the clinic looks better than it has in years.  We’re so thankful for the work you did.  It is a tremendous blessing to our patients and the community of Camanchaj, Guatemala!
