It is scheduled to be a five year program. The prime abjective of The Project is to improve the health habits of the people of this neglected community. Roads are dirt and at times impassable. Water is hauled in daily by truck and is stored outside the homes in large oil cans. Few homes have electricity.
Sanitation is primitive.
During the two years and two months The Project has been in operation changes have occurred. During the first year the task seemed hopeless, but during the second a glimmer of hope started to appear. The team shared a dream of opening an elementary school and within three months two large plots of land were donated. The Salvation Army's Territorial Commander for that area arrived and approved the project in concept but had no funds available. In November of 1995 a representative from a foundation in Germany, Holland, and Colombia, that has been supporting Harry Williams Hospital, visited Cochabamba.
