I wanted to share the announcement of the People to People Delaware Award Dinner with you all. So many thanks go to all of you who are part of the Water is Life – Kenya team. You all should be recognized for your love, enthusiasm, hard work, giving of time and skills. Nothing can go ahead without you. Together we are helping so many people here in Kenya.

I know I’ve already shared this with some of you, but it’s worth sharing again. I can’t tell you how much my heart filled the other day at the community meeting when the people of Imisigio told me about their borehole. Last October, in what were, thank God, the last months of a hideous and devastating drought, Imisigio people used the borehole water to do bucket irrigation to start their tomato plants. At the end of November the rains came to add to their efforts, and now, those who had used the borehole water succeeded in reaping a great harvest. If you look at the faces of those people now, you see joy and success and hope. What a huge contrast to the desperation and hopelessness of September!

This is what our work has accomplished.

With gratitude to you all!
Joyce
