Outside the Box.

I wanted to share with you all about a project that is close to my heart.

I am hoping it will be something that will interest you as well.

It involves water and people.

I am attempting to raise $18,000.00 to buy a water well through a ministry called World Vision.

The project will purchase a DeepWell for Disease-Free water:

"Dig a deep well, fit it with a hand pump, and you can provide up to 2,800 gallons of safe water a day for as many as 300 people! In many communities, clean water lies hundreds of feet below layers of hard rock. Children have no choice but to drink disease-infested water from surface lakes and ponds. When our drilling teams strike water, entire villages erupt in celebration because a clean water source can cut a community’s child mortality rate in half."

Where will you dig a well with my donation?

World Vision pools donations to provide wells in as many communities as possible. Wells are not matched to individual donors. As progress updates come in, a report will be available describing how your gift is helping to provide clean water in impoverished communities.

EVERYONE needs and deserves to have clean water to drink.

This passion started with a book called "White Man Walking" by Ward Brehm and a movie called "Millions".

Ward walked from a village in Africa where the only available water was some mud hole that the animals swam in. This is all the villagers had to drink. The movie "Millions" tells of a little boy who wants to give the money he found to the poor. In the end he gives money for a villate in Africa to have a water well! MY HEART LEAPED!.

I would love to share more details of why I got ivolved with this project. I can be reached at 763-670-8772 if you are interested in donating or if you would like more information.

Many Thanks For Your Support!
