Please tell a story about a time when a person or organization tried to help someone or change something in your community:

Water Is Life

IT WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS ago when this organisation called SWIM came in our village. Their aim was to make sure that the villages had enough water for using both in industries and at home. We know very well that without water there is no food. In industries, products may not be produced without water. People can not go to search for water but now SWIM take over the burden. They helped and showed us how to construct a well and found the underground water. All in all, water is life and so we thank the organisation very very much..
