On Thursday 07/04/2011 the Raintree team went to Phayao for installing the first of 127 BioSand Filters. This water filters where donated by the Rotary club of Coquitlam Canada. www.rotary-coquitlam.ca In the two days we spend there, we installed 61 BioSand Filters and we got great help from the villagers. They directed us to every single household where they have placed the filter bodies already and therefore we were able to install the filters in just two days. We only needed to fill the filters with the filter media and give some introductions to the new BioSand Filter owners.
We also had time to check on the 20 BioSand Filters we’ve installed in December 2010. It was nice again to see they use this sustainable water filter to get their own drinking water without any following expenses such as replacing the Filter media.
