Our progress on the project went very well today. While certain things took longer than expected, it is really starting to look like a system that will provide clean water. The system is enclosed and ready for the water truck. Thank you to all who made the generous decision to donate towards providing water. Please keep the donations coming! We are so grateful.
While some worked on the system, a few spent hours going through an enormous amount of shoes and clothing. We are so excited to distribute these items to the woman and their children who desperately need them. So many of the children don't have a simple pair of shoes. Thanks to the Aquascape family and their friends, we have hundreds of pairs of shoes to distribute.
Half of the group went into the community today. Their situation is so extremely horrifying. Their homes have dirt floors and are made out of tin. A typical home has about 10 people living in a one room home. The school has capacity for 700 children, but unfortunately the families cannot afford what is necessary for their children to attend. The I.N. Network has a sponsorship program, and many of these children are just awaiting sponsors like you! A few members of our team have sponsored children and when the school year begins on Thursday, these darling little boys and girls will attend school. They are so thrilled!!! We spent the evening at our host and hostess' home. They made us a great dinner and we were all very honored to be invited. They are such amazing, generous and loving people. Thank you all so much for your encouraging emails and generous donations. We are seeing firsthand the need here and I promise that your donations are going to such a worthy cause. Remember.....water is life!
