Just try to IMAGINE how you would feel as a parent if the only water you had to give your children would be so bacteria-filled that it would most certainly make them sick and could possibly kill them? Clean water is a luxury that millions of people in this world have no access to. On Sunday, March 6 we will load our 5th sea container full of new well pipe to send over to Mozambique as we continue to support the water well drilling projects going on there through Marantha Volunteers International and ADRA. To date, over 500 new water wells have been drilled. Since each water well is estimated to supply clean, potable water to 1000 people in the immediate area around each well, then at least 500,000 people in Mozambique are now drinking clean water instead of the contaminated water that was previously available. These wells are being drilled at the sites of the new Seventh-day Adventist churches that have been constructed creating an immediate connection to the community. New Hope is happy to do our tiny part in sending these needed water well supplies over to Mozambique. Thanks to S.O.S. director Dave Wooster’s dad Larry (owner of Wooster Drilling Company) and his well supplier, THE MILBY COMPANY, these needed supplies are being sent over at a much lower cost than what they would be able to get them for in Africa. Working together, we can help affect the health and lives of THOUSANDS of people. Join us on Sunday, March 6 at 9:00 a.m. in the New Hope parking lot to be a part of this exciting project. We’ll even feed you pizza!
We are also collecting school supplies to fill in the the empty spaces in the sea container. Items being requested are NEW school supplies of all kinds, and new or very gently used khaki pants and solid-colored polo shirts (in kid sizes) to be used as school uniforms. Shoes in GOOD condition are also being accepted. You can drop your supplies off at the box by the S.o.S. table in the lobby no later than Sunday morning.
