Across India there are communities that do not have access to clean drinking water. There may be water, but it has been the source of illness and death. There are poor villages where young and old alike must travel, many times on foot, for 8 or 10 miles to find clean water. They carry this water on their heads and make the walk back with this heavy yet precious item. Good Samaritan Mission (GSM) hires companies to drill a well and install a hand pump. Concrete, around the well, prevents unclean water from contaminating the well. The result is a hand-pumped well with fresh drinking water for the surrounding community. Each well costs approximately USD $1,000 depending on the type of soil they encounter. The finished product touches many lives for years to come. Each well is dedicated to the financial donor with a plaque set next to the well. Those who come to get fresh water are reminded of those who made it possible and are asked to pray a prayer of thanksgiving and blessing over the donor! Below are photos of two well dedications provided by Harry & Sharlotte Miller (Dave Rogers’ in-laws) and the Randy & Tanya Ozinga family — PMI board member.
