CHEBANY STANDS INDEPENDENTLY!
 
Anoth­er mile­stone for baby Chebany, as he final­ly grasped how to bal­ance. After tak­ing this pho­to, I gen­tly took his hands and leaned him for­ward to nudge him into tak­ing 2 steps before he sat down.
 

Chebany stands inde­pen­dent­ly for the first time.
 
We are very hap­py for this lit­tle boy, who had a very rough start in life. His moth­er passed away when he was 11 days old, leav­ing a very sick Chebany in the care of an unlov­ing father and uncle.
Chebany was admit­ted to the hos­pi­tal for a seri­ous res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion, where his father aban­doned him 1 day lat­er, and has­n’t been seen since.
 
With lov­ing care, lots of med­ical help, and prop­er nutri­tion, this frag­ile, mal­nour­ished infant now weighs 8.4 kg/18.5 lbs. at 13 months of age.         
 
Every­one calls him Ale­gria (JOY), as he is smil­ing or laugh­ing most of the time.
 
WE PRAISE GOD FOR EVERY MILESTONE HE MAKES, AS HE HAS BEATEN THE ODDS AGAINST HIM THANKS TO JESUS’ HEALING POWER.
 
CLEAN WATER = LIFE
 
Our water well repair team has been super busy through­out Decem­ber. Hand pump water wells are PUMPED 24 HOURS A DAY from Octo­ber until the rainy sea­son begins, as all hand dug buck­et wells dry up. Exces­sive use leads to break­downs, and no oth­er water sources are avail­able to 1,000’s of peo­ple.
 

Pulling out the ‘guts’ of a bro­ken water well as 2 inner tubes had cracked.
 

Repair­ing a bro­ken top tube in a well does­n’t require pulling out all the tubes.
 
Our team repairs hand pump water wells each year in both Bala­ma and Melu­co coun­ties which serves the vil­lage orphans that your love gifts sup­port.
 
From Decem­ber 27th to the 30th our team repaired 5 high use water wells in Melu­co Coun­ty. These wells are the sole source of water for more than 10,000 peo­ple.
 

Put it all back togeth­er and the reward is clean water for the vil­lage.
 
These are YOUR LOVE GIFTS AT WORK, for the lack of clean water brings dis­ease and death, leav­ing behind more orphans.
 
THANK YOU FOR SAVING LIVES BY SUPPORTING THIS ESSENTIAL PROJECT.
