A message from the community
Dear Lifewater & Sponsor, My name is Rozius Etienne, my wife Rozius Dieudonne and two children have lived here for 4 years. I work as a carpenter and we attend the EBAC Church of Vaudreuil. Before receiving this well in our community people would buy water, which is very expensive and some people cannot afford. My wife is the caretaker of the well and she will make sure to keep the area around the well clean and protected. We thank you very much for the well, we have suffered a lot to get water, we are so happy to have this well. We will pray for God to continue blessing you so you can drill more wells for other Haitian people. Thank you again. Rozius Etienne
