Hello Jean and Fatima,

First and foremost, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us in such an important way in undertaking two major water harvesting projects in Peru with your Rotary Club of Montreal and your Foundation.
In view of the impressive results obtained following the implementation of these two projects, we want to put in place a third project and this time, much more important. This is the construction of three water catchment systems for three villages along the Amazon, not far downstream from Iquitos.
This project, with a total cost of $ 126,000.00, would provide drinking water to 1260 beneficiaries who currently have only access to contaminated water.
Again, the Service Provider will be the NGO APECA that has been working in this region for 23 years and has done an impeccable job during the implementation of our two previous projects.
They have established good relations with the communities and also have their respect. The three communities for the proposed water projects have officials who have been trained as health workers (Promotores de Salud) by APECA.
Since the implementation of this project is not possible without substantial financial and logistical support from your Foundation and the Montreal Rotary Club, we are hereby soliciting this support to undertake this vital project for so many people.

Best regards
Bill Furey

Rotary Club of Castlegar, BC
