The Big Latrine Project<\/strong><\/p>\n For those of you at home who are interested, I want to do more latrine projects. My plan is to use whatever donations I can get to offset half the cost of materials for anyone in our village who wishes to make their home healthier with a “proper” latrine. Then, we will build it together. If any of you readers (or any of your friends\/ relatives\/ coworkers) are interested in sponsoring a sanitary latrine in Guatemala, email me<\/a> at jfanjoy@hiddentower.com.<\/strong> Total material cost for a latrine is about $300, so by donating $150 you or your loved ones can help a Mayan family to help themselves. I will even get you pictures of your sponsored family.<\/span><\/p>\n We constructed the first latrine with Don Marcos; if you’d like to read about how the project went, there are two blog posts about it:<\/span><\/p>\n Don Marcos’s Latrine construction, part 1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Don Marcos’s Latrine construction, part 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n We also have some other interesting links if you’d like to learn more:<\/span><\/p>\n Plans for the LASF latrine<\/a> (by yours truly)<\/span><\/p>\n A model of the LASF latrine<\/a> that you can download and view with SketchUp<\/span><\/p>\n
