Dear international contacts.

In our effort to change the reality of six hundred thousand people

living poorly around Brasilia (one of the most beautiful cities in the

the world), I was charged to discover printed material and technical

design of a Mexican model of wind pump that is assembled directly

over the well, in the rural areas. Do any one of you know this

project? I am sure it could be found at the Mexican extension

service. I remember that many years ago I saw a small brochure -

illustrated as a comics magazine - from the Mexican extension

service (I suppose) teaching the people about the device and

showing how easy it is to assemble and enjoy it.

Of course we also need to know other wind (and solar and...)

devices that could be locally produced and utile to the poor

population in the new settlements around Brasilia where they

need everything. But that Mexican device is really nice.

Thank very much for your kind collaboration.
