Would anyone like to say something?

At the end of the dedication service we open the floor. Sometimes someone is ready and stands up immediately and sometimes it takes a minute but this is often what we hear:

Thank you for this wonderful thing that you have done to us. It is through God's love that this has happened. We had no idea that this would be possible for us.

Thanks to you for coming. Thanks to all those who have given back in America, please take back our thanks. May God bless you and them!

Now we have life because water is life and it is clean and we no longer have to worry about diseases or sharing with animals.

Our health will be better because we live downstream of people washing in the river and animals who use the river, but now we have protected water.

The children will not have to be sick and can now attend school. We can teach them and help their bodies as well as their minds (at a school installation).

The hospitals will have medicines for those who need it as we won't be sick from water diseases.

We are so far out (and the roads were terrible) that we have been neglected by the government. We are so close to the border that neither take care of us.

Now our families might have an easier time and better marital relations as the women don't have to get up at 3 to walk for water.

we are so sorry we don't have more words to say or gifts to give you because really this is such a big thing. We are so happy you can see our smiles. All of us. thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks you for your help. We will remember you, please don't forget us. Continue to do this thing for our neighbors who still need this help.

And we are given chickens, bananas, ground nuts (peanuts), maize, honey, tomatoes, hugs, hand shakes, cooked cassava, egg plant and green peppers, love and gratitude.

Thank you to all who make this possible!!
