Clean Water


Water in the desert is welcomed any time.  First came an attempt to drill a well here in Colmini, a dry hole it was.  Much prayer continued and an underground cistern, about 5000 gallons in size, was built to collect rainwater off the roof of the church/school.  Much of the time this has supplied clean water for the students and families that are part of Colmini.  Today is a different day and with the need for clean water being of even greater importance with the Cholera outbreak, water is being delivered.  A delivery only costs about $70.00 US and helps many, many families in the area.  Each time I go to the spigot there is a reminder that it's not this easy in much of the world.  Want to help?
