This was the second of two wells funded by Burns High School FFA. The full name of the location is Kothamangalam Bagavathi Amman Street. This particular village has about 700 Dalit families and like the first had been without a safe and dependable water source.
This village, not far from the first, suffered many of the same water problems. Prior to this well being installed they walked great distances for water. Even then, what they found was water designated for the fields and crop growing – unsuitable and unsafe to drink.
Thankfully,with the help of the students at Burns HS FFA, these people are enjoying their very own protected water source.
