Trip Report #6 : Interviews near Antigua : Wed 8/26





We interviewed two groups of women on Wednesday. Irma of Manos Preciosas introduced us and spent the whole day taking us to different sites and fed us lunch back at her shop too.

It was good to get a woman's perspective because the men from the factory spend most of their day at work and these women work at home. We ran the same survey by two groups of woman and these were the findings:

+ also prefer the chunkier prototype (not just a male desire for a bulky tough looking thing)
+ would want to change filter themselves (don't want a stranger coming to their home: safety)

We also sampled a blackwater river, Rio Guacalate, to see what the worst of the worst could be. We rigged up some nearby bamboo and a water bottle so I didn't have to go face first into the river bed.
