Water Well Drilling

This afternoon Walter Thompson, Ben Strickling, Cynthia Howard, Jeff Darr, Casey Smith and Ramon Billhimer visited a water well drilling machine to learn more about the process of drilling the deeper water wells in Uganda.  We talked with the driller who told us he had two kinds of drilling machines—one shallow and one deep.  The rigs were donated by a church in Houston and are owned by the Presbytery or Eastern Uganda.  They are for drilling wells at the church plants as well as other places in the area through government contracts.  The profit from the wells drilled with the government contracts subsidizes many different needs in the Presbytery and the community.
