Valley of Peace ~ Project Completed!
The Valley of Peace (V.O.P) water project was adopted and funded by the One Desk Foundation. The team arrived in late November and assisted the Water Missions Belize team with Health & Hygiene teachings in the V.O.P schools.
A "make shift" ribbon cutting for the Living Water Treatment System! It was pouring rain so we did it inside!
Team One Desk Foundation also held a special camp for students showing leadership qualities in their schools. These students were hand-selected by their school administration to participate in this week long Leadership Training Camp. Not only did the One Desk Foundation assist with efforts for community development within the schools of VOP, but also assisted with the implementation of the safe water system (putting the system together, digging trenches, installing piping, solar panel installation, etc), painting the housing building, AND designing and painting a mural on the side of the system housing building! These guys were tireless in their work and we commend them for their dedication to the V.O.P community to provide safe water and more to the village residents.
On Sunday, January 8th, 2012 the V.O.P community had their inauguration and celebration of the water treatment system in their village...

Team Emerson and Christmas Campers in Hopkins Dec 2011
Team Emerson arrived on December 15th, 2011 for the purpose of helping with the installation of the water unit, Health & Hygiene teachings in the school via a special Christmas camp, and organization of the Living Water Community Celebration. Although the building that would house the system was renovated prior to the team’s arrival, this didn’t mean that there wasn’t work to be done; the Hopkins team came to serve and serve they did, children and adults alike! We had a wonderful work week with them teaching, cleaning the school grounds, organizing the books in the library, showing an inspirational movie to the village youth (Soul Surfer), along with sports, plays and so much more!
On December 20th, 2011, with the team still here, the community of Hopkins held their Living Water Community Celebration and inauguration of the safe water unit in their village.

Preparing a building to house the Living Water System
We are very thankful to the team for helping with constructing the building that the water unit was being placed in. We built it basically from the ground up in four days; hot sun and temperatures did not deter this group!

It was a festive night with students from many different ages and grades giving some wonderful presentations for the villagers.
