嬉しいできごとをみなさんにお伝えします。まず、2つの井戸堀りの監督をしたことやその完成に至ったことです。井戸の一つは、Kiryandongo (ウガンダ西部)にあるYelekeni小学校につくりました。近くにきれいな水がなく、多くの児童や教員、コミュニティの周辺に住む人々がその問題を抱えていたためです。もう一つは、そのコミュニティの近隣の村につくりました。
これらの2つの井戸は、井戸掘りやその建設を支援する団体によって村に寄付されました。私は彼らに井戸掘りの作業の間、代表として村にいるように要請されました。
以前、子どもたちは水を取りに行くために長い距離を歩かなければならず、その間、特に女子生徒は初期の妊娠や退学などの問題に直面していました。
No.2の写真では、Yelekeni小学校の児童は顔に大きな笑顔を浮かべています。それは学校の水が安全であり、そして暑い日に水を飲んだり、顔を洗ったりでき、きれいで、澄んだ水が出てくるという知らせを聞いたときの写真です。
同学校の児童たちは、地面の下にある水を見つける作業の過程を見守っていました。
そして次の写真は、学校の牧師が新鮮な水か確かめているところです。彼らにとって大きなニュースです。
牧師の家族、技術者、私と一緒に牧師は、コミュニティの新しい井戸の完成度の高さに対して、神に礼を述べています。彼らは、コミュニティに十分な水を供給し、新たな発展をもたらすと信じています。今なら彼らは、家族により多くの食べ物を与える菜園によって、灌漑について考えることができます。
No.6の写真は、学校近くに完成した2つ目の井戸です。子どもたちが笑顔になり、ジャンプして、喜んで歓迎しているところです。
最終的に水が出て、子どもたちは喜んでいます。

During the last three Months, we have been able to do a number of things that we are glad to let you know about. Among them was, supervising and finally seeing the accomplishment of digging the two deep wells, one for Yelekeni Primary School in Kiryandongo which had the problem of not having clean water near by, which affected many students, teachers as well as the people with in and around the community and the other one was dag at the next village close by for that community.
These two wells were donated to these two village by an organization called It is well international and they requested me to be there while the work was going on, on their behalf.
Before, the children had to walk a long distance while fetching water and during that time, children especially school girls faced problems that often lead to early pregnancy and school drop out.

In this picture, the students of Yelekeni Primary School are seen having a very big smile on their faces after hearing the news that the problem of water will be there no more and that the water at school will be safe, clear and pure to drink at any time they feel like having a drink and also wash their faces during a hot day.(Photo No.2)
Same of the kids of the school stood there looking at the process of finding water which is under ground and in the next photo, the pastor of the school is seen testing the sweet water which has just been given to them. Big News for them.(Photo No.3 & 4)
The pastor with his family, the technicians and I gives thanks to the Lord for the very good results of the new bore hole in the community. They believe that having enough water in the community will bring about new developments. They can now even think about doing some irrigation on the near by gardens which will allow them having more food for their families. (Photo No.5)
Well number two is being appreciated by the children and it is all smiles and jumping up and down with joy.(Photo No.6)
Water is finally coming out and the children are glad about it.(Photo No.7)
