Happy World Water Day! Recently I was in Colombia to help distribute the 130 ceramic water filters that HydrateLife provided to the community of Candelaria Arriba.

Start Your Weekend off Right! (with Link)

HydrateLife August 18, 2018 Candelaria, General No Comments

With your help we can bring water to the elementary school in Candelaria Arriba, Colombia. It already has the nice water storage tank shown in the picture above. That tank was installed by the government a couple of years ago.
