A message from the community

Dear Sir, 

Everyone in the school is very happy to have the well repaired.  It was a lot of work and we were long since resigned that it was broken forever.  However, the Lifewater team worked hard with the help of some of the students and were able to replace the broken pipe and pump parts and now we have safe water flowing freely for all to drink.

We can't express how much joy that brings to pump the handle and see water come out the spout.  Thank you so much
