What an exciting time it is for the women and children living in the compound in Turmi. Tom and the men he is training for the water projects have been working very hard (while I have been here in USA)
They have been installing solar panels to run the pump for the well located 1/2 mile down by the river. This pump feeds water into the main line that they trenched and laid pipe in. This line then feeds the new showers and hand washing station and a tap in the main compound. For the first time ever, the women and children do not have to carry 48 lb jerry cans down to the river every day.
The smiles on their faces and rejoicing by them all, made the effort well worth it! All the thanks and glory goes to God our Father--because it is only through His love for us all that these things are accomplished.
After this compound is finished, we will head to the next village in the area we have targeted for development.
