So that there should be no
division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one
part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part
rejoices with it. |

| Statement of Faith: I come from a Christian family brought up in CCAP. "You are the salt of the world, but if the salt loses its taste how can it be made salty again? You are the light of the world>" Matthew 5:13-16. I like this verse because it teaches me what I am supposed to do and good morals. |

| What is the impact of the Shallow Well
Program? The program has brought a lot of impact in the communities because people are no longer suffering from water borne diseased such as dysentery and diarrhea. People are preferring shallow wells because of our system of repairing the broken well within 24 hours. The Shallow Well Program is successful because nearly each year the number of those in need of the shallow well in increasing. People have definitely benefitted from the Shallow Wells. |

| What is the Future of the
Shallow Well Program and why is your support so important? It is my prayer and hope that this program continues so that we can reach out to all those who are still drinking unprotected water. MMM and the SWP has come to stay because of those people out there whom we havent reached yet. |
