Storms break pipeline

This is their rainy season with frequent heavy rainfall from thunderstorms.  Trees topple in the jungle and apparently have damaged the aqueduct/pipeline, so no water is now flowing to the islands.
Between squalls the Gunas are using their canoes to go to the rivers to fill buckets with water.

I have agreed with their elders to return in July to attempt to fix the problems and teach some of the men how to do basic repairs.  Along with this, I will bring PVC plumbing parts and new pipe in the types and sizes needed.

Ordering 100 Sawyer Point One water filtering kits to take with me, to be able to supply each home on 2 islands with filtered water.  These will attach to a 5 gallon buckets which will be purchased in Panama City, Panama.
