I was assigned to work with a Franciscan priest from Belgium.....Padre Antonio....that's him in the brown robe in the second photo. He started a natural healing hospital....the first photo. The second photo is him with many of the patients. He had developed a farm to provide food for the patients and irrigated his garden with a diesel powered pump.....getting water from the river. I was focusing on conservation so we developed a demonstration to capture more water from the infrequent thunderstorms. We constructed contour ditches to capture the rainfall runoff to allow the water to soak into the soil. That's me in the bottom photo on the right.
