Dear readers,
I am pleased to report that with the help of the summer volunteers, Fabio Falter and Michael McLaughlin, the scheduled work has been completed. We have successfully connected a further two quarters of the community, with access to clean water.
The completed scheduled work on the 8th of August was for the Shufai’s (village head) quarters, housing more than 30 people and the compound of the traditional leadership of the community. Further work has been done in a residential quarter, supplying a major part of the community with clean water.
Fabio and Michael have been a huge help, encouraging and inspiring the community. Together we have come up with the means to advance the project a little more. We have bought: 51 stand pipes, 31 private connections and 5 social taps. With these new acquisitions we have already finished the installation of access to water in two quarters and can schedule further work to spread access to clean water to other parts of the community.
Our volunteers have started to fundraise for this project using the GlobalGiving site, with the aim to have the complete means to finish the project by the time they leave Cameroon in October. We are truly grateful for the work done by Fabio and Michael. I am asking if anyone reading this report can support our cause and aid our brothers in their fundraising campaign. This will contribute to the great achievements by Self Reliance through the effective means of GlobalGiving.
Any reader that is willing and interested can easily view the fundraising campaign by our volunteers, using this link: https://www.globalgiving.org/dy/v2/fundraisers/water-is-life-1/
As previously done, I am attaching pictures of the current progress, with women fully participating. Hopefully as this fundraising campaign progresses we are able to see the progress accelerate and soon be nearing the final stages of the project.
May God continue to bless our brothers and sisters.
