Living Water!!

Good morning team!  We are catching up on some posts as our travel throughout the country has been fast and furious with this amazing team!!  It is even more sweltering hot as we travel north to all of our projects. This team perseveres with a smile!!  And lots of laughter!  Giving hope and love wherever they go!!

Hope 2 One Life has drilled of boreholes -10 (including a large solar well) for clean water in Uganda under the supervision, assessments, advice and grant writing of our faithful serving hydrologist "water specialist" Tom Osborne. Tom and his wife Angie join us once again together on a team. Their first visit was in 2008. Tom has been on the board of Hope 2 One Life ever since and they are still going strong!!  Kampala Village is a special well for all of us as it was a long time in coming - raising funds and three attempts at drilling with many many prayers!  The women's group will now also be set up with a 1/4 acre drip irrigation bucket kit and sent to farming gods way training!  This is a wonderful excerpt from Brenda as the village celebrates Tom and "clean water". "Water is Life". God's living water...

"Such a changed village with clean water! Kampala village is very proud of their bore hole!Tom christening bore hole, with his signature move! What a change seen in village! Water we take for granted everyday is such a blessing and reason for celebration!!! One village at a time......available clean water  can make the difference between life and death in a village such as this!"
- Brenda Gilmore

We are currently fundraising for Mboira village borehole. Also we have come across a unique geology and hydrology area that could provide an artesian well of naturally flowing water that would flourish the Awere Side by Side Ludok community farming group near Gulu!  So blessed to have this expertise on the ground to assess these areas of potential development. Drilled wells cost approx $9000 each via our long term trusted partner Draco Drilling.
