Boys check out the new well
Thideerkuppam, Kallakkudi
UPDATE (3/19/2009): This location was actually home to 2 new wells. The area is densely populated. From their visit at the dedication, our partner reported…
The project was located next to a new building which was undergoing construction. The evening was approaching and the scene was quite festive. (more…)

Well #8 sponsored by Northview Christian Church
Our partner reports from the field that…
Close to this project is a school and large church and yet even with this, accessible water is limited and so they are forced to the fields for water.
This is Well #6, given by Northview Christian Church.
The villagers using this project were previously forced to take water from sources which were really unfit for consumption. The overhead tanks built by the government are not supplying water due to limited power and even when water was in the tank it was dirty and unsafe. As a result of this project, now with the bore well in their locale, they can drink confidently.
This is Well #5, given by Northview Christian Church.
In this village there are 100 dalit families with a population of 400 in the Adi Dravidar Street area. Most of them are landless agricultural laborers.
Students celebrate their new well
This is well #4 funded by Northview Christian Church.
Our partner reports,
Poondi Pu School was our second stop of the day with 6 projects to go. This is a government run school which from an appearance point of view was a stark contrast than our previous stop. (more…)
Here’s some more details about the new Meetpar School well in India, donated by Northview Christian Church.
This is well #3 donated by Northview Christian Church. In a few more days we’ll begin to post those brief reports and GPS fixes we promised.
(our partner is a bit jet-lagged having just returned home)
In the meantime…enjoy more fruits of this great work!
These shots were taken just a few days ago in India at the site of our latest completed project.

This is the Meetpar High School Well.
More to come soon!
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!
