Purpose
Our aim is during the time we are sailing
in the Louisiades in 2008 to encourage the building of several water reservoirs
.
Background
Christian
once asked an island council member "What is the biggest problem facing
these islands?" Without hesitation he answered, "Water!" to which
Christian replied, "After having sailed around here for 3 months visiting
many of your islands and villages, I have seen what your resources are
and observed how they are managed. It is not a water problem but
a water 'management' problem you have, for example many fibreglass water
tanks are unusable because they are in need of repair."
This 2008 season we will be working
on this project using materials donated by various companies and individuals.
We appreciate their generosity in making this dream a reality.
