WATER IS NOW FLOWING!

The well we have helped sponsor with the Prestonwood Rotary Club at the school in Northern Zambia is now operational, just in time for the holidays.
They bored the hole a couple weeks ago, put the cement internal collar in, put a cap on it, and completed it with a state-of-the-art Mack II hand pump made in India. The pump is all self-contained (sealed so there is no way for weather to corrode it), you only have to prime it once for the lifetime of the pump, and is easy enough for a child to pump clean, safe water up from a depth of 75 meters.
What a blessing it is to share clean water with this village. These projects really do change a community.
