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.
