Dear Friend,
JULY 2019
Our mission trip was a phenomenal success. And our Ugandan care team just doubled their impact by adopting three more villages!
But let me jump over that (for now) and let you know that we are about to drill a borehole well to bring water into the village of Kinyante IV.
Can you help?
We have $2,000 toward the total cost of $7,000–11,000 (final number to be determined by geography, geology, and the depth of the well).
Join me in the middle of the village. First look up. What do you see? Jets. Passenger jets carrying travelers to Capetown and Dubai while autographing the sky with disappearing ink. Now look down. What do you see? Jerry cans.
Water, Water Everywhere
But compared to the women who gathered around and watched the hydrologic study unfold, our excitement barely registered. Could this be real? Will Ourganda really make this happen? We assured them that it will. (While they watched with fascination as the hydrologic study happened, the Ourganda vans drove to the river and filled over 150 jerry cans so that the ladies could take one day off.)
The drilling company is ready. All they need is our initial payment of $6,000 and assurance that we can pay the balance when the work is done. The people of Kinyante IV are praying, hopeful, and thankful.
Let’s do this!
P.S. Even if you haven’t had the chance to visit the village of Kinyante IV, you can be part of the action. Make a donation right now and 100% goes directly to saving and extending lives. Thank you!
