Remember a few weeks ago, we shared footage of foundations being built for a new clean water system in Bango Village on Mantehage Island?
Well, just last Friday, we celebrated the official opening of that completely built water system!
But that wasn't the only reason to celebrate. The opening coincided with graduation day for senior students at Bango Elementary School, making it a double party for the community!
As students marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next, we also celebrated a project that will provide access to safe drinking water for years to come.
There was an overall sense of community pride, plenty of joy, and a few emotional moments as families came together to acknowledge both milestones.
LTL crew, including Rachel, Coco, Andrie, Aim and their families, were thrilled to be there alongside the incredible Mantehage community.
Managed by .morong and built with the support and hard work of local community members, the system is located at the school and accessible to all.
The water system design can be replicated in homes across the island.
