Bore Hole Project in Zimbabwe

This past week we got great news as it was reported back to us that the bore hole project, that we as the YWAM Worcester leadership team have been facilitating, is completed. The idea was started by the Children in need DTS that went to Zimbabwe at the end of last year and beginning 2011. They were not able to complete the project and it was handed down to the leadership team to bring to completion. We were able to make contact with a Korean missionary working in Zimbabwe ( a friend of Yongwoo, who is part of our leadership team). He was able to do all the practical arrangements for us on that side and we are now so thankful to be able to report that the project has been completed.

I include a short extract of the letter to those that contributed and helped with the project written by Bruno Guntelach , base director of YWAM Worcester.

"It is my great pleasure to inform you that the bore hole in Murehwa Zimbabwe has been completed.
They found good water 25m under ground and continued boring until 40m to secure the future water supply.

Find attached a picture of the completed well.

It was a very successful project which drew the people of the village together. For the Korean missionary, Shin Byeng-Soo (left on the picture), it was a brilliant opportunity of building more relationships as part of his church planting project.

A big thank you to all the donors. Your generosity enables a whole village to have access to safe water, all year around."
