Stan Galanski provided an update on the Aramasi Village project in Bolivia.  The water well project has been effectively providing drinking water to the ten families and some irrigation to the fruit and vegetable gardens.  Phase II of this project requires $6,000 to drill another well that will supply water throughout the dry season (December-July) and a further phase would complete an engineering survey leading to a worldwide matching grant to provide a water solution for the district around the village.  Stan  will gather commitments from the other three sponsoring clubs and use part of the $5,000 budgeted Service funds to make up the total of $6,000.  This will get the ten families in the village and their gardens through the dry season.  Stan will use the balance of the $5,000 budgeted amount as the basis for a matching grant to accomplish the subsequent phase to address the water problem for the district. re: January 18, 2005  Club Board Minutes.  An email from the Amistad Association in Bolivia to Stan expressed their appreciation for his assistance.
