Clean Water! By Jackie Ray & Daddy

The water well helps all the kids. The well is 82 m. deep. It was built in 2008. Before the well they had to walk a long way to get water and it was dirty. The kids now get time to play and have recess in between classes.

Before the well they had to carry water all day when they were not in class. Now they get clean water and don't have to walk a long way. Before they got sick from the dirty water because people pee and poop on the land and it ran into the stream where they got water.

Plus during droughts the stream dried up and they could die of thirst. The new well is so,deep,below,the ground that it never dries up and is always clean.

When they built a new guest house on the property the plumber put in pipes for showers & drains. The orphanage founder, Fred, questioned him and said that there will never be water in the pipes. but he was wrong! Some ywamers came and dug a well for them to get fresh water!

We were the first people to be able to flush the toilet and wash our hands in the guest house!
