We were met at the ‘road’ at every village. (Bigger track if not a dirt road). The people were already singing and dancing-all of them, men, women and children. They followed the truck to where we parked and then continued singing and dancing to the well. What joy!
The headman commented, ‘You have helped us today when many other NGOs and even the government have not. I wish you would run for office because if you did we would vote for you!’
Another comment, ‘Thank God for giving you the resources to help us, thank God for entering your mind to come here.’ And ‘from the beginning of the world, there has never been such a thing in this village. Now we have safe water to drink.’
Safe travels Jessi, blessings to you.
