Wells for Life: India Project Update 1

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Our implementing partner, Wells for Life, has just returned from dedicating our first wells of 2009 in India!

Pictures are still being uploaded as I type.  We will have higher-res pictures from all the wells within a day or so.  Internet in India proved a huge obstacle this trip, so we had to wait a couple of days to get them this time.

Here are three quick snaps from the wells funded through Northview Christian Church.  Very exciting!
