Narrative
The initial benefits of the project will be the availability of hand washing stations and sanitary facilities such as bathrooms, fluch toilets , latrines, and septic tanks. All of these structures will improve the sanitary environment of the schools and provide a focal point for the teachers and Peace Corps volunteers to train hygiene habits.

On our way to Chortiz to document the building of a 10,000 L water tank by Engineers Without Borders, we hiked through Chuatuj. Last year the exact water system they will be building over the next week in Chortiz was build here in this village of Chuataj. Both villages are about 10,500 feet in altitude and accessed only by foot or mule. Up until now, the "twin" villages, about 1 K apart, were using potentially polluted waters via springs, wells and lagoons for their daily needs.

We would like to report that the project was completed early in August and the final reports on finances will be posted during the month. A number of the schools have had celebrations related to the projects and all the school officials and parents expressed their gratitude for the help in making their school healthier environments for their children.
We were able to complete two more school projects due to funds remaining in Sumal Grande and Rio Azul. I anticipate that we will have a small reserve of funds remaining once all of the receipts are posted in our accounts.

The overall project is about 2/3 finished with the schools in Sumalito, Nuevo Amanacer,Chuatuj, Chortiz, and Jacana finished. The remaining school in San Francisco Javier will be complete by the end of the summer.
- Implementation Phase Project started on 4 Oct, 2010 Preparation Phase
How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Sustainability
Creating and measuring long-term impact
APS has a " Circuit Rider" maintenance program in the area and will monitor the structures along with the Peace Corps volunteers.
Other Issues
Unusual and unexpected issues faced during project execution
No unforseen issues were encountered during the project except the usual problems of transportation as the result of road bad conditions caused by rains.
Learnings
Knowledge of project and process for sharing
Construction projects such as this should always be coupled with hygiene education projects to maximize their benefit.
Impact
People Impacted: 1541
School Children Getting Water: 1541
The school population will be the primary beneficiary of the project. The hand washing station will serve to provide water for hygiene, kitchen, school snack, clean up of the school ,and community use during meetings at the school. Where it is convenient the tank on the lavamano ( hand washing station) will be connected to the roof to collect rain water.
People Getting Sanitation: 7379
The children at the school will be the primary beneficiaries of the latrines. The latrine facility will also be used by the community since the school in many cases is also the community center.
People Getting Other Benefits: 7379
The children will be recieving hygiene education from APS and the Peace Corps Healthy School Project, but the communities and families in general will receive added benefits from the children being ill less.
Maintenance/Operating Costs Annual, in US$: $100
