Water: Hope for a village

Habakkuk's Well is complete. Our dream to bring clean water to Habakkuk's community in memory of him is a reality. Today people are drinking clean water instead of water that made them sick and sometimes die
It's a very surreal feeling knowing that you are part of changing the future of a whole community of people. Children that won't die this summer, instead they will grow up. Young men and women that will be healthier and stronger to better provide for their families. It opens up a new future for these people. It is hope.
This is the engraving on the well. Our memorial to the little boy we loved and lost, but whose life gave hope to his community.

  1. That is AWESOME!!! It brings bittersweet tears to my eyes. Needless loss of life is never easy to accept but thanks to you, Mark and all the others who contributed to this noble cause, others in Habakkuk's community will avoid the same fate. You changed the World!!!
