a name is important isn't it?: watering it up...

So one project that has begun to take up my life is the Water Filter project. We have been training, and implementing water filters wednesday's and Friday's the last couple of weeks and it was been really fun. Its great to see the people come together and pool their money together so that they can have a water filter and have clean water for their families and communities. Child of Hope has been such an incredible partner in making sure that we are implementing them in places that the people will appreciate them and use them to their fullest potential. Pius, Shadrach, and Evelyn have been the Welfare workers that have been taking us to the communities and mobilizing them for us to teach. it has been inspirational to be able to see them work so hard for the people of Namatala and it has made me appreciate them so much more!

This is at Child of Hope where the children are able to get clean water during school... doesn't he have the cutest eyes!!!!!

This is Pius and Shadrach whom i absolutely love! they are the interpreters that take us around to the water filter places. two of the most sincere people!

There is nothing more rewarding then when you come to a certain community that has been mobilized by the Shadrach, Evelyn or Pius and they are waiting for you and have seats set out in a circle, and their money all collected and their water manager elected. it makes you so excited! At times we go to places that by our standards are not where we want place the filters, but then i think about it. Clean water is a basic human right! and there are so many people that have such a look of eager need for the water filters. There is so much happiness in their eyes that is contagious and they have such an attentiveness in their posture. Its so wonderful to be able to be bringing this water to them. Im trying to think of a way to continue after i leave... suggestions will be accepted :)
