A message from the community

Dear Sir/Madame,

The community of Volmar thanks Lifewater for the new well drilled for us by Lifewater. The problem of having enough water and water that is safe to drink is longstanding. We are very grateful for the new well, and would ask that you think of us and put in a second well as there are so many people in need of water in this district.

We are extremely grateful for this well and will continue to pray for you as you continue to make Haiti a better place to live.

Thank you again
