On Saturday, October 17th we completed another Aqua Box build. We put together 504 Aqua Boxes.

GlobalMedic takes care of global delivery to places that need them after natural disasters.

Special thanks again to the Downie Optimist Club for lending us tables for the assembly work. Not having to rent them means we can pay to build 6 more boxes.

💦 And to Jutzi Water Technology for providing us a space to build the boxes!

Lots of new faces volunteered with us! Thank you to Walkerton, Strathroy and Hanover Rotary clubs for sending volunteers as well as Global Exchange Connections.
