Back to Africa!!

I'm headed back again! The well installation season for Marion Medical Mission starts September 18th with 23 volunteers. They will be in Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania for 3 weeks getting a great start on the 2,500 wells we plan and hope to install this year. Team 2 (the team I'm on with 20 volunteers) comes in October 9th to complete the installations...mostly complete them anyway, as the Malawian, Tanzanian and Zambian staff continue to install wells until the rains start...Thus last year in 2015, there were 2,678 wells installed!

September and October is when Marion Medical Mission installs wells because it is the end of the dry season and thus the water table is at its lowest point. The rest of the year there should be water in the well since there is water at the time of the installation.

Now, though, after 2 years of drought, the water table is very low. The people are hungry because there hasn't been a good harvest in those 2 years. So Marion Medical has expanded to help with food distribution in addition to clean water wells. MMM is in a unique position to be able to help effectively.

Please pray for this mission and if you feel lead to donate, do!
~~$400 pays for a well that helps an estimated 150 people have access to clean water

~~$20 pays for a 110 pound bag of maize that will feed a family for a month through the famine

~~$$ any amount can be donated to MMM for wells or food, or can be donated to me to help me cover the costs of the trip.

Peace and love to you!
