just beautiful, this is what happens when we are in touch with that source that keeps us real..we connect with others and think outside ourselves and it is soooo sooo beautiful to see in action. inspiring!

The truth is all the African countries used to be fine until the Europeans colonized them.

Having worked in this field for years, wells break and/or eventually go dry. Then what? In my opinion, Michael Pritchard's water filter that makes filthy water drinkable is a better and cheaper option. Charity:W is just a fundraising organization 3 yrs. old. No long term studies of the depletion of the water table is documented on their site. I wish they had a better strategic plan than just "donate".

I am a very caring person, I've just been molded differently than you through my walk. I've seen weak and dying, have you?

It seems like a great idea to try and save the world, but let's think realistically.

There will always be poverty, death and famine... So my opinion is that we should focus our resources as human beings on ours strengths instead of our weaknesses.

Well thank the Lord, God gave me a heart for the weak and I have 2 of those starving children from Africa in my home and the joy they have in their heart and the prayers they say for people like you who do not have the love of Jesus in their hearts makes them very strong. Thanks to God they will bless the future generation and give to society instead of just take. They know what it is like to be in need. WE pray that God will soften your angry heart. The JOY of the Lord is OUR stregnth!

You have to think about MONEY!

They are called poorest third world countries for no reason. Such as in Africa no money resulted in no education, no food, no clothing, no production etc.

Thats why Africa became unmodernized and regressive.

Why are you being so ignorant?

I don't get it. You think this is a game,

Survival of the fittest?!. Everyman deserves to live and have anything as much as you do.

[CarlLewenski]

...so we took their power to dig a well?

[tnguyen318]

Great Work. Great Work to better living conditions for humanity. Keep it up.

[volunteerafrica]

Wow, Romans, the ones who controlled the known world. Many countries in Afirca can barely control them selves. The people are living on less than 2 dollars per day. Many of these people dont have money, education, or health. This is the whole point of giving, humanitarism, and not being selfish. But i suppose that its better to let them get sick, die, and further deteriorate because that would help them think of some aqueducts? wtf? they deserve shitty water? What have you done for your water?
