I just returned to day from http://www.thirstingtoserve.org/ in Grand Rapids at Calvin College. It was an amazing experience. Eileen Heasley, John and Joyce Joyce, Bob Carr and incoming DG JudyGarver were in attendance from 6380. At least five other districts were represented as well. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and dining with the man who designed the bio-sand filter- Dr. David Manz of Calgary, Alberta, CA. Since he patented his filter, they are being used to save thousands of lives. At least 200,000 filters are now in 70 countries. He is very modest, and doesn't like the spotlight- but boy does he ever deserve it. To learn more about his design, you can visit http://www.manzwaterinfo.ca/. I find it very neat that he knows about our project, and seemed delighted to see more people benefit from his life-changing design.
