Awal Village - Day 5

Today as we make a surprise visit since we were unable to reach them to inform them (no network), people of the village slowly gather around. This year we blessed to drill a new borehole for them (water well) as their old one had broken they were without clean water for nearly a year.  This is a very good well with lots of water! They have also kept it so nice!  We give world water day t shirts to all of the water boards each year. It is a must to learn now to maintain and care for a borehole so it doesn't become contaminated.  They have done very well and I am so proud of them!  They are very happy! Most were in the fields tending to their crops of cotton, maize or soya bean.  We had some t shirts for the kids still left over from Shandra and the nursing school. Vitamins, etc. Good fellowship and plans to form a community group and mentorship are underway.  The pain was much less evident at this visit. Bosco's gifts were given and they were very very happy. I hope to see change and positive light in their future from now on.....
