Clean water


On a recent trip to the Rift Valley we learned of some real needs. The Masai people in that area have really suffered from last years drought. Many lost nearly all their cattle which they depend on for everything. One of our pastors asked us about building a greenhouse to try gardening. We returned with a team of young people from Camp Blue Sky to do the construction. In addition to the greenhouse we were able to demonstrate the Sawyer filters. The pastors stock pond provided us with a wonderful opportunity to show the effectiveness of these little filters. The pond was green with "life" and the filters transformed it into clear drinking water that our team used for the week we were there working. We left the filter system with the pastor to use with his community.
