The water has dried up in El Porvenir. A couple of weeks ago, there was no more water. 17 men from Porvenir climbed the mountain into the rain forest to check the source...it's just about completely dried up. They have put the town on water rations. Two hours a night, the water is turned on to fill your available containers. Thank God, someone had the forethought to put a water retention container on our property. We can have water for the teams and not be completely dried up. However, Scott felt we needed to dig a well. That was on a Monday, last week. By Wednesday, we had hand-dug a well, capped it, plumbed it to feed into our retention container and decided this will become our next project....to dig wells for villages having these same issues...so, while we wait on a "God blessed rain", we will begin believing for funds to dig more wells. We were blessed to find water at 9 feet!! It won't be quite that shallow in other spots, but there is plenty of underground water. We just need to put in a little cash, sweat, and prayers.
Hi Susan and Scott, I am happy to hear about the well funding! What is the status, and how can we help? Blessings and love, Karen Lucas
