Frolics in Filter Construction

So, I´m not going to lie to you, we´re feeling a bit of stress at the moment...Germán, Alejandro, Trevor and I are planning to leave for the village on Wednesday and as of yet all of our practice filters have had some serious issues (leaks, broken filter noses, weak walls...etc.)

On the positive side of things, every faulty filter helps us improve future attempts. Also, seeing Alejandro getting excited about filter construction and the future of the project as a whole is just amazing....this means that progress made in the next months could actually be sustainable where he could be hired on more permanantly and help train others as the organization expands.....exciting.

Later this afternoon we´ll be demolding another filter, so we´ll see how it goes. We´ve come to terms with the fact that we may still need to pratice a bit when we get to Guarayos next week so we´ll take the challenges ahead as they come.
