While we were traveling in the north, World Hope put in a well at our Intaka church (seen in the background with the sewing center). Right now all you see is a pipe in the ground but they hit good water and we are waiting for the top pieces. The company they get the hand pump apparatus from is currently out of stock. So, we wait aggressively! You kind of get used to that here....
But it is great progress and we look forward to seeing the change this well will have on the church and this small community.
As we traveled in the north, the need for good clean water struck us over and over again. In the more rural areas, people gather water from streams where people bath, streams where the water is dirty, full of debris, and we know a source of disease. Diarrahea is a common ailment, as are stomach ailments - it is no wonder. Good health starts with clean water....
Thanks to all of you who have made this possible. We will keep you informed.
Thank you for standing with us.
