Dear Jean and Fatima,

We are very pleased to receive from you a request for the implementation of 4 water projects in India in the name of Claude Lapointe, Construction LFG and its employees. These are 3 water filtration systems and a borehole.
As you know, these projects will bring clean water to thousands of people and needless to tell you all the benefits this will bring to these truly desperate people.
First, we will set up 2 water filtration systems that will provide drinking water to more than 3 775 people and here are the requests we received from two of these villages:

-Project # 1 Village of Narmala:
"My name is Rajender. I have been a board member of Narmala for several years. I am the person who suggested that we communicate with Bala Vikasa to help us with our water problem. In our village, many adults and children are sick. We know that the water we drink is not good for us. But what to do without money? We must drink it anyway ... We hope that our request is accepted. Our committee is ready to actively participate in the project and to mobilize the people of the village.
Thank you for all the help you can give us.

-Project # 2    Village of Silampally:
"I introduce myself: I am Parishodhan Reddy, chairman of the youth committee of my village. We young people want to bring change to our village because our living conditions are too difficult. That's why we would like to ask you to have a water purification system. The underground water that passes under our village contains a lot of fluoride that makes us sick. We are poor people and we do not have the financial means to buy purified water sold by private companies. So we are forced to drink water that makes us sick. This project will improve our health and it will allow people to go to work. Our committee wants change and we will not stop with this project if it comes true! We have many other ideas to make our village a model village in our region."

The completion of these projects will begin within a month and should last 2 months.
As usual, the work will be executed under the governance of Bala Vikasa, our sister company in India that you know well, which is a guarantee of success and assurance of sustainability for these projects.

The other 2 projects should be undertaken a few months later.
Thank you for the trust you give us again. We remain available to answer all your requests.
