Thirsting to Serve (cont'd)

On Friday,

I was able to attend the first ever HydrAID Network. I learned how the new filters were designed by Dr. Manz and are being produced in their new plastic form by Cascade Engineering. NGO directors and engineers came from all over the world to attend this event. Jim Bodenner and his partners and Rotary District contributed one million dollars to funding the filters usage in the Dominican Republic. Jim explained how they renamed the filters from International Aid to HydrAID so "we" could take ownership of these filters. (He slapped the Rotary labels on himself for a shipment going via the US Navy to Guatemala.)
