We all know that the Green Garage is not yet fit for human occupancy, but from Feb. 20-23 we hosted a biosand filter class for about 20 people. Our friends, John and Eileen Heasley, work with the Troy Rotary Club to provide Biosand Water Filters to people in need of clean water around the world. They wanted to host a biosand filter training class but could not find a building that fulfilled the requirements of meeting place AND physical workshop with water access. Our place fits both criteria, and so, even though the building is still in its rustic state, these intrepid warriors met for 5 days, braving loud blowers from the heaters, cold floors and a pretty primitive bathroom. But these are folks who are willing to travel to 3rd-world countries to teach people how to develop their own clean water, so they were the right group for the setting. And we couldn't have been happier to see real people using the building...an enticing vision of things to come.
