Next they will dig a ditch to pipe it across the road to the school where they will build a water tower and be able to get water right there. Up til now, it has taken four women all day long, every day, walking 1/4 mile to the nearest water, and returning to the school with 5 gallon buckets. This is a great thing for the community as well, since Christopher plans to make water available to others for a small fee, that will then be used to help pay for maintenance of the school buildings.
In SammamishThis Sunday (September 2nd) at 11:30 there will be a lunch event in the PLCC Community Room to share highlights from the recent trip to Kodera.
