Cool kids learned thumbs up from a Jackie Chan movie. 
The chief mason Senor Juan and his brother break ground for the cistern. 
Principal Niko, Profesora Betty, and Student Body President Kike roll the rooftop water tank into the school yard.
The cement and rebar truck came and everyone helped unload. It was so heavy that the truck got in the door of the school okay, but after it was unloaded it was like 10 inches taller so it couldn't get back out under the low entry way. So all the adult neighbors and the folks walking by climbed up into the bed to weigh it down so they could drive the truck back out!
Before! Professora Betty and Principal Niko collect water in trash cans and big aluminum pots.
We're making good progress on installing the potable water in Rinconada Elementary. We have the cement tank and we're working on attaching all of the pipes and electrical stuff once the cement hardens. It needs to sit for a week or so.

Glad to hear that the water project is swimming along!
Seriously, those smiling faces make it difficult to resent you being so far away!!! But I will try.
