In Muñoz, we're always getting started or working on a project. Whether it´s making solar ovens to bake cookies out of cardboard boxes and tinfoil or making solar lamps for houses out of bottles or making piggie banks with kids out of plastic bottles and paint, we always have something in the works! 
A census done by a Virginia Tech group in one of the three bateyes in Muñoz in 2012 showed that 78% of the batey's residents have no toilet to use at their house, either indoor or outdoor. This is one of the community's biggest requests for aid. For this reason, we constructed a model human compost toilet at the school and have educated community members on its use. We conducted a survey to assess interest and commitment in such an effort of placing more toilets throughout the community. So far, we have constructed three toilets in the community. We always welcome new and fresh ideas and volunteers to carry them out, so contact us if this type of initiative excites you!
