Ramon, Carole and Jim went with Dr. Patrick yesterday to
visit water wells and fish farms that we support. The people from the village came to the well
as they were arriving. They were so
thankful for the clean water and the fish.
From the fish they get protein and income. The villagers eat the fish and sell some. The children got into the water with the net
to catch some fish to show the “Mazungus”.
Like children everywhere, they loved being in the water. Again today Ramon led a group this afternoon
back to see more water wells. Some of
the team members hadn’t seen how the artesian wells worked and wanted to visit
them firsthand. The group visiting the
wells today was Ben, Mitch, Carter, Terri, Megan, Cynthia, Dr. Bartha and
Ramon. Everyone was so thankful for all
the work Ramon has put in to the water well project. Because of her devotion and drive many
thousands of Ugandans now have fresh, clean water.
I was aware of the ongoing water well projects, but not about the fish pond. The old saying about what happens when you "... TEACH a man to fish?" PROVEN, thanks to your efforts!
