KMC SUMMER YOUTH MISSION TRIPS 2010

KMC MISSIONS FOCUS FOR JULY. . .
Our July mission focus is the Clean Water Project In Nicaragua, sponsored by the Mission Society, South.
The goals of the Clean Water Project are:
- to drill wells in communities unable to pay full cost for a well
- to promote feelings of ownership in villagers who have a well drilled in their community. When villagers can take ownership of their well, it is much more likely that the well will continue to produce good water over time.
Recently the team drilled a well at the Moravian Primary School, and Sister Doris Bush, the Director of the School, indicates the report from the Ministry of Health was good, and the children now have plenty of safe drinking water.
The Clean Water Project's remaining funds will go to pay for wells in two other rural communities. They remain committed to helping to provide drinking water for communities lacking resources to pay for a well. An average well drilled costs $2200. If KMC could help to support the full cost of a well, or a portion of the cost, we will help to provide clean water for people who get their drinking water from a river or stream, or an open well, which is frequently contaminated. All 100% of funds sent to this project is used to support the village wells and keep the drilling equipment operating.
Should you wish to help with this project, please make your checks payable to KMC Missions with a notation on your check outside of your mission envelope "Clean Water".
Jesus said, "I was thirsty and you gave me a drink... whenever you did this for one of the least important brothers of mine, you did it for me."
Thank you, Mission Committee
