All,

As you are aware, the membership here did an INCREDIBLE job fundraising to support Operation Esteli 2014 and we seriously exceeded our goals..

The "excess" money ($$ beyond what is required to support the classroom at the Esteli Education Center) is already being put to good use.

The Esteli Education Center has a satellite campus in a very small village called Las Sabanas. The water system at Las Sabanas was in terrible shape and there was no way for the kids attending classes there to get clean drinking water... BOTL stepped in and provided 100% of the funding to bring in new pipes and do all the necessary repairs....

all the children going to school at the Las Sabanas campus now have a healthy fresh water supply!

Sorry for the small pics.. this is the best I could get out of Nica for now.. when we make the trip in September to do the "main" delivery, and visit the school in Esteli, Ill make sure we get some better photos to share with everyone....















Everyone take a little time out tonight to smoke a good one and pat yourselves on the back for a minute.. you really have made a difference in peoples lives already...

more to follow as more good things continue to happen :)

Thanks for the update, it's hard to believe with all of our conveniences here that there are people who still live like that.

You guys did a fantastic job with the whole operation, the rest of us were just supporting...

Hell yeah, that's some awesome good news Dave! So cool to be able to provide something for the kids that most of us take for granted and seemingly simple as some fresh, cold water. I hope it brightens their days as it's definitely brightened mine.

WOW!!! That is amazing… I was very recently down in Nica on a missions trip handing out water filters to schools and community centers. It is amazing how needed these clean water supplies are. I for one took for granted the luxuries that I/we have here.
This is absolutely amazing and the difference it will make can't even be explained!!!

Great job brothers!!!!!!!!!

I have for one could not be happier. The simplest things in life can mean the most to ppl. BOTL is definitely a brotherhood like no other. This place goes beyond the cigars and friendship, this is a place where we do all we can to change lives and better everyone with just the kindness and generosity that comes so naturally to everyone here.

Dave said smoke a good one and pat yourself on the back. I want everyone who was a part of this to sit back and think of the difference we make and be proud that you changed the lives of so many children who deserve the best.
