A multipoint update of the lake/village water conditions and the lake’s natural protections based on the past 50 years. The pending failure of the 30-year-old lake water pipeline that serves 3 million of the 5 million in Guadalajara. 19 years of insight into the world of the 320,000 natives that live about the lake in 40+ villages (local leaders, skills, education, native project priorities, health, and poverty). My desire to seek persons to join me for (1) lake water sampling/testing, (2) addressing childhood kidney disease, (3) training in each village a person to administer first aid for children bitten by scorpions, (4) creating micro pharmacies in small villages, (5) teaching basic English to children/adults to gain jobs, (6) creating apprentice skill programs to train teens, and (7) a plan for creating villager-police trust.
