Water Ways Baja
Barbara Manfrediz, owner of Water Ways Baja, a local drinking water treatment company, has donated a water system providing purified water to the entire Palapa learning Center. This generous donation includes a lifetime of maintenance at absolutely no cost to the Palapa Society. The specific system for PLC was custom designed based upon comprehensive testing of our municipal water.
Barbara states her decision to make this substantial donation was based not only on her desire to ensure the staff and students have safe healthy water, but also as a woman entrepreneur, to be a role model to students. “I am very hands-on. My business demonstrates, especially to girls, that anyone can start his or her own business and be successful at doing something they love.
Manfrediz sees the Palapa Learning Center as a place where she can prompt water curiosity and heighten awareness of the importance of clean water by exposing students to the science of water and it’s treatment. “The water always presents a challenge and an opportunity to learn. Water is truly remarkable and with all its intricacies it can spark a curious mind to learn more. I want to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with the youth of our community. Who knows where it will lead these young minds!” Palapa Society sincerely thanks Barbara Manfrediz, owner of Water Ways Baja, for the water system and services at the new Palapa Learning Center!
