A message from the community

Dear Sirs: It is with great excitment that I report a combined and heartfelt thank you from our community, school and church. We are very isolated and have struggled with safe drinking water the entire history of our village. This well has had a broken pump for a long time and the rate of sickness has been increasing as we gather water from the creek at the bottom of the mountain or the swamp in the rainy season. Both sources are a long walk for all of us, approximately 5 km one way in the dry season. Today we celebrate the efforts of your labour, a new handpump on our well in the center of our little community. It was such a blessing to overcome all the difficulties in it's replacement and now have safe and constant water to drink. Many many thanks. We pray for your organization to do this and much greater works for the country of Haiti. In His Name Pastor and Principle of the School
