The sixth Operators Con-
ference in Honduras was held
on June 22, with 39 of the 40
systems represented.
Melvin Flores, the Hon-
duras director for LWW,
organized and kicked off the
conference by welcoming
everyone.
Wil Howie gave an intro-
duction and overview of LWW
to the participants.
Dave Parks, moderator of
the Honduras Network Coor-
dinating Team, discussed the
importance of keeping good
records: income, sales, expens-
es, system operation and sys-
temmaintenance performed.
Harlon Mills, co-moderator,
demonstrated the importance
of proper bottle washing.
Jose DeLaPaz of the Agua
Azul Sierra system gave a tes-
timonial about the wonderful
things they have been doing
for the village since the system
has been installed. As a sur-
prise to all, seven systems had
donated money to buy lunch
for all participants.
After lunch, Carolyn
Thornton, representing Salt &
Light Ministries, reminded all
about keeping their commit-
ment to supply clean water to
the local schools. Several of the
schools she has visited recently
did not have water.
Olvin Duron, the Honduras
Network in-country technician,
spoke about the importance
of the second pass through
the ozone to insure the water
quality.
The conference was wrapped
up with a presentation by
Melba Ruth Lopez, a microbi-
ologist. She spoke about water,
contamination, and personal
issues such as washing your
hands.
In all, over 70 system repre-
sentatives were excited to have
participated in this gathering.
Our next conference is
scheduled for February 2013
with a focus on clean water
education.

Wil Howie does not sub-
scribe to Thomas Wolfe’s belief
that you can’t go home again.
Wil is a believer that you not
only can, but should go home
again. In June Wil traveled to
Honduras, home of one of his
first LWW installations.
Traveling with the co-
moderators of the Honduras
Network, he met with two
groups, Salt & Light Ministries
and Grace for the Americas,
that account for over half of
the installations in Honduras.
In addition to visiting many
of their installations, Wil held
meetings with their leaders and
discussed ways the network
could better serve their inter-
ests. Wil also participated in an
operator’s conference and spent
It’s old home week forWil,
traveling through Honduras
Helping LWW share clean
water has never been so easy!
