A message from the community
Dear Sir: We the people of Lower Barclay Mission would like to express our sincere and heart felt appreciation for the exceptional effort you have made to provide us with hygiene education. Indeed we had no idea that there was so much we could do to help us stay healthy while we wait for a new source of safe drinking water. We know that now we will be equiped to live helathier lives and that our children as well as ourselves will be better for knowing how disease is spread and what we can do about stopping it from making us sick. Thanks so much Lawrence Darkollie Village Workshop Coordinator
