Hello to all of our dear friends and supporters from GlobalGiving,
As winter draws to an end, we have some unfortunate news that the water pipeline we built did not fare so well this year. The pipeline has stopped working, and no water is flowing; the villagers needed to hike to the springs to carry water on their backs over the rough terrain again. It has been a long winter indeed.
When spring arrives and allows repairs, the broken pipes will need to be replaced but more importantly, we will investigate what is needed to place the pipes deeper into the ground to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
Please know that we are so very grateful for the support for this project. Villages in this region of the world have not had easy access to clean water and this has been a pilot project not only for us, but for all of the other communities spread across rural Tibet. The money that you donate now will go towards repairs to make this water system sustainable.
Thank you for all you have done, and all that you continue to do.
