nice one.

it seems they did a good job there:

HERE IS THE SUMMARY OF THE MONEY:
Total collected: $16´513.640
Transport, food, sound equipment, printing (production costs) $5´948.640
Total for Barichara= $10´565.000


HERE IS HOW IT WILL BE USED:
1) Education program & proposals by Professor Karl Shoenthaler:
Pump building classes and lectures in schools, universities and on radio; leaflets informing locals of ecological, long-term & sustainable practices they can adopt. We feel his suggestions are far more affordable, in balance with nature and more reasonably sustainable than other proposals being suggested. Any part of Karl´s proposals that are implemented, we will help fund (for example, the natural waste-water treatment system). Finalizing the documentary about the water problem in Barichara. $2,065,000 pesos.
2) Practical and long-term:
Planting trees, reforestation as the cutting of trees for tobacco monoculture has caused water loss & desertification, reforestation is extremely important for water retention in the future. The reforestation would be around the water well in “Promoción Social”. It’s important to protect this area as currently there are cattle feeding there. If possible, an area of 1000-2000 square metres is to be reforested. We are thinking of Moringa and some others native plants. $1,000,000 pesos.
3) Water tanks:
We will buy 500L water tanks for schools and for some people considered to be in urgent need of assistance. The tanks are to be given with instructions of how to install them correctly for rain water collection as a proposed long-term solution for those involved. $7,500,000 pesos.
