Friday, April 24th, 2009

I just got a call from our friend, Zuddy, who is a Kenyan – now living here in the US.  He got a call this week from his friends in Kendu Bay Area, Kenya.

He shared some very exciting news…

8,000 Get Clean Water (corrected)

The community leaders in the following Kendu Bay area locations each report that clean, safe and good tasting water is now flowing to somewhere close to 8,000 people.

The people their have been celebrating these wells and are extremely happy to have access to clean water!

Three of the four wells are located at schools, with the fourth located in a community common area, available to all.
