Community member, David Brown, interviewed by LWI Liberia and who stated, “The old water source was not safe for the school and the community. Due to this issue, members of the school and the community were fetching water from the creek for cooking, washing and drinking. The school has a hand pump that was not serving them to the fullest during the dry season. Many thanks to God for this new water source because it will serve the school and the community. May God richly bless the donors for their great support in the name of Jesus Christ.” COMMUNITY MEMBERS APPRECIATE THE WELL
