Water totals

Water for Christmas raised $59,000 for water in Liberia!!!

It costs –

$2,000 to repair a non-working, existing well.

$5,000 to drill a new well for a village

$20,000 to equip a hospital with clean water

This money will likely do a combination of hospital, village wells and water system repairs. And thousands, thousands of people will have access to life saving, life changing clean water. They will know that people in America are refusing to look the other way, that we are no longer making excuses, that we do see–and we care–and we bought water.

When I hear more about the exact locations of wells I will keep you posted.

And, yes, a Christmas post is coming....someday.
