To: Jean and Fatima, Rotary Club of Montreal and  FCC


Dear Jean and Fatima,


First of all, I would like to thank you for your invaluable support in our past projects. You are really making a difference that drastically improves the quality of life of the worl's poorest.
I am writing to you today to suggest a new partnership in Peru, in the small community of Venturosa Baja. The project involves the installation of a well, which, using a solar-powered pump, will fill a reservoir above the village. A water distribution system will allow 40 houses and 5 public spaces to have direct access to drinking water.
Also, residents will receive training in the maintenance of the well and related systems, and in personal hygiene. In total, the project will help more than 250 people at a cost of $ 85,887 CAD.
I dearly hope that I can count on your help once again, knowing how our partnerships are always successful.,I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Bill Furey
