When you hear about ENLACE, you usually get the message that the work is not the work, the people are the work. However, for ENLACE's water engineer Paco Gonzalez, the work still matters.  Getting the job done and done right is a huge blessing for the people of these communities.

Local ADSA members stop for a photo with Paco, atop the newly constructed water tank.

Local community contractors have grown to respect Paco's opinion and advice.

Any given morning could easily find Paco in the trenches, guiding workers and project progress. 

Paco stops to field a question from a local consulting engineer.

While community members are hard at work well before dawn, Paco's visits to work sites are a highlight.

Paco loves his projects; but he also looks fondly on his friends from Las Delicias: the workers advancing the Miracle.

Paco always has time to patiently explain instructions so that costly mistakes are avoided.

Check you work; then check it again.  Paco is nothing if not thorough.

Paco discusses strategies with ADSA members

I think here Paco was trying to communicate with our friends in China.  "Maybe if you talk louder Paco..."

Hydro aspects, structural aspects, electrical aspects, even financial aspects are no mystery to Paco's analysis.

Admired, repected, and liked by most who have to deal with him, Paco has been a bridge-builder with the communities affected by Project Milagro.
