Here we are experiencing first hand how difficult and time comsuming it is to transport water in jugs carried on your head. For this village in Patzun, carrying water is a daily activity - 1 hour each way to the spring and home, with steep slopes to climb balancing 20-30 lbs of water on your head. An elderly village woman begged us to help them build a water system. She said her bones ached from years of carrying heavy jugs of water.

"I was not blessed with having children of my own. Yet, through Miracles In Action, I can love and give to children who have needs that are not met by their parents, the government, or other social programs. It is direct giving to a child that creates memory moments like this one, and keeps me coming back for more. Giving is addictive," Miracles In Action Founder, Penny Rambacher.

Miracles in Action is building a school in this village. It was a very cold area in the mountains where many children wore towels or blankets because they had no jackets. School #18 will be built in this remote village called Captinzito which is located at an elevation of 9000 feet.
