We Hit Water!!!!!

Well, I just got back from Ethiopia and while there, I experienced a week that will be very hard to top. After very little notice, I found myself on a plane heading back to one of my most favorite places in the world!! Immediately after landing in Addis (after many hours of travel) I hopped right into a car and went for another six hours of travel to Chuko Weyama, the site of our clean water project (not to mention our son, Cruz's home village). When I pulled up to the bore hole site, I got very emotional and had to take in the view for a few minutes before I could even get out of the SUV. We pulled up and there was this big water digging machine (no that is not the techie term for that!!) digging away and lots and lots of people from the village watching and waiting. To see that machine working and those beautiful people waiting with anticipation for their first sight of CLEAN water... it was a glimpse of this reality taking shape. These people became real to me on this trip- not just a concept that everyone needs clean water-which they do. But these people have faces and eyes that I got to look into. And they are real. They are stunning, both inside and out, but more than that, they need clean water. Period. So the question is: Will you be one to help them?

How can you help? Buy a foot of pipe for $10.00 each. Now that we have hit water we need many, many feet of pipeline to connect the water distribution points. Only $10 to make a difference; a difference that we take for granted each time we turn on our faucets!
