Our wells are extremely important. In Kamulu, unless you have a well, you must buy water for your home or business. Kamulu is in the Nairobi City limits, but as yet there is no city water, etc. Plus, there is a water shortage in Kenya. In Eastleigh where our other center is and in Runda where many Americans live, the city water is provided only for one and one-half days! This just points out how valuable our wells are. We thank many people in Nashville for the Shanon water well, and thanks to others in Conejo Valley,California, for the other well. The Shanon well provides water for the boys' dorm, irrigation for 10 acres, the girls' dorm, their garden, the Learning Centre, our shopping center, and staff members living nearby. The other well is at the Technical Skills and farm (20 acres). It is here that we are planning new irrigation lines; Kevin Colvette from Otter Creek church in Nashville came with a friend of his from work to help with this. We appreciate visitors so very much! We also appreciate the container that arrived; in it were many irrigation supplies.

Hi Victor. Thanks for the update on how the businesses are doing. I missed being able to go for lunch to the Tea House last fall when we were there. I hope the business serves the community well and makes a few shillings ofor mits.
