Thanks Altie.

People love to complain don't they? Yen is a financial counselor at a university and listens to complaints and whines all day from parents and kids....they are complaining to a person that was plopped into this country at age 10, separated from her parents, having a younger sister to care for...and oh ya, she didn't speak the language.

Yen and I get much more satisfaction these days from the successes of bringing wells to those in need, than to our day to day business. It is certainly a lot more important.

Finding funds is definitely the tough part, we have a great partner on the ground over there that can get things done. He was so excited at the prospect of possibly getting the new well done by Tet, that he ran out and borrowed $500 to get started, rather than wait three days for the funds to show up that we sent.

If anyone out there has friends or organizations that might be interesting in helping us, PM me your email and I can send out the info on a pdf file.

Thanks, Scott

Pictures from the first day of drilling of well #3. In the lower picture that is one of the nun's that oversee the leper village, putting up a "Care to Help Project" banner that she made...pretty sweet.
