We have just received news that at last there is fuel for the drilling rig, and last week the WES team in Darfur was able to drill, and strike water successfully, in the villages of Tikailat and Geleidat! This is fantastic because we are currently in some of the hottest months in Sudan, where temperatures are up to 50 degrees Celsius. Just imagine how horrible it must be with no electricity so no air conditioning and no way to cool down at all.
This is why striking water and getting these two new pumps installed is so terrific. People living in Tikailat and Geleidat have been waiting so long for water, and because of the scarcity of oil, it was getting very difficult to do anything in Sudan, let alone in Darfur. Now the WES team will start drilling in Aefin village, hoping for the same incredible results - please cross your fingers and do donate so we can build even more pumps!
We also want to give a little shout out to the students at the International School of Brooklyn in New York who held their Seventh Walk for Water at the end of May! Such a fantastic idea, where students learn about how far children their same ages are walking in Darfur to reach water and hold a fundraising event - really putting themselves in the shoes of those less fortunate. We are blown away by the generous donations we have received to this project from the school. Thank you all!
