to communicate regularly by phone and e-mail.

several hours per week.
Production Facility: Each Living Water
Treatment System (LWTS) is assembled, tested,
and packed for shipping entirely by volunteers
at WMI. Volunteers are the life blood of this
organization. Without their participation, WMI
would struggle to maintain its non-profit ministry
because of the cost of labor associated with the
production of the LWTS. It is our volunteer labor
force that allows us to donate the LWTS units
to those in need of clean drinking water. There
are a variety of tasks with a wide range of skill
set requirements that go into the production of
the unit. In fact, we have something for just
about everybody! Training is done on-site, so
anyone with the desire to get involved is welcome
regardless of their educational background or
work experience. We have a large assortment of
tasks that need to be done everyday, so there
is always something new and exciting to do. Volunteers
can expect to be involved at all levels of production
from making filters to testing systems.
