Mark and I have been preparing to adopt two brothers from Liberia, West Africa, for the past year. In June 2009, our hearts were broken when we were told that our youngest boy, Habakkuk, then 2 ½ , had died of cholera, a disease acquired from drinking contaminated water. Habakkuk lived and died in a village with no well. He is not the only child who died for lack of clean water. Since losing our boy, it has been our dream to build a well in his community. We are trying hard to raise the money so construction can be completed before the rainy season, which starts in April. 
Pastor Peter Flomo is a son of the Kpeletayama village where our boys, Michael and Habakkuk, were born. He now lives in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, where he is the foster dad for at least eight children, including our Michael. At our request, he put together an estimate for a well in Kpeletayama. The well will cost $5,500.
A Brief Profile of Kpeletayama Village From Pastor Peter Flomo, son of the village "Kpeletayama is a village in Suakoko District, Bong County, Liberia. It contains about nine huts. This village is surrounded by over ten villages with similar conditions. It is a ‘village with nothing’. With the population put together, 500 persons from the town will benefit while those from the surrounding areas will also benefit from this potable water. The people in this village are
simply “existing” while others are living. They are without basic life necessities. Your help is a LIGHT IN DARKNESS. This village could be the “Nazareth of Liberia” where no one expects any good thing. For those with hearts for humanity, I invite your investment in this village and your dividend will be one of eternity. Please consider making a donation to bring hope and life through clean water to a village with nothing.
