- KHI6HTS in flCTIOn Continuation ATTRACTIVE AND CLEAN RESTROOMS Families along the beach of New Washington (Aklan) are starting to get attractive community toilets and wells. Thanks to their own initiative and the assistance of the PACTO DE SANGRE COUNCIL 7035. Through the initiative of GK Rustico -Icamina and DGK Andronico Mendoza, the Council has constructed one community toilet with concrete well in sitio Dumlog of Poblacion, New Washington. Costing around P4,500.00, it is a picture of coopera tion between the Knights of Columbus and the local residents. The Knights raised funds to buy cement, hollow blocks, steel bais, and other processed materials while the local residents donated labor and cons truction materials available in their locality such as gravel and sand, bam boo, nipa thatches, rattan, etc. - The restrooms they constructed are a two-room affair with concrete water sealed bowls. Small concrete water re ceptacles were made to store water for flushing the bowls. A well is cons tructed a few meters away as the main source of water. “ Ihis project is meaningjess with out the people using it and maintain ing the same property,” said Bro. Andronico Mendoza, Deputy Grand Knight and project director. To make it workable, Bro. Mendoza, who is a physician by profession, organized the families using the community toilet so that cleaning is assured daily. The indi vidual families around the project take turns in cleaning and filling the water receptacles with water. A series of fund raising activities have been lined up to boost the cons truction of more community toilets in the municipality. - Bio. Gabriel M. Delfin KC MULTIPURPOSE EDIFICE MSGR. JAMES T.G.
