Clean Water University

The newest member of our team, Patrick Dimento, is in the middle of Living Waters for the World (LWW) Clean Water University at Camp Hopewell outside of Oxford, MS.  Patrick is taking the 103 course which will "train him up" on the technology of the water system and the "Bubba pose"!

Jim has been diligently swapping emails with our friends in Ghana - locking down final plans, little details, etc.  We got an email from Dan Kolbilla the other day and Dan will be traveling down from the north of Ghana to visit us somewhere along our journey.  Will be good to see Dan.

Michael Asiamah, our in-country technician, informed us last week that he has or will be purchasing in Ghana all the parts for the water system that will be used for the Kibi College of Education installation.  This is a big big step towards LWW sustainbiliity in Ghana that all the parts for the water system can be sourced in Ghana - sorry Delta - no excess bag fees this trip!

Patrick sent us some pictures today from CWU

Show and Tell

The clean water group had an opportunity last week to do a little show & tell at the Tuesday night dinner at Idlewild.  Jim, Shari, & Forrest moved the water board into the TK Young room and did a little demonstration for the group.  Always enjoy telling the story of "water is life"!

Thanks Jim for the pictures.

Getting Ready for Ghana Visit

It's hard to believe that it has been 15 months since we last visited Ghana in July 2014.  It seems like just a little while ago that Jim, Shari, Forrest, & I were in Ghana looking at existing Living Waters for the World (LWW) systems, reviewing potential sites for a LWW system, and renewing and building relationships with our Ghanian friends.

We are getting prepared to return to Ghana the first part of November 2015.  Our trip has two purposes - 1) visit some existing sites; 2) installation of a LWW at the KIbi College of Education.  Planning and preparation began almost a year ago and now information and activities are moving quickly as our time to depart draws near.

Blog is alive as of today!!

New readers may enjoy reading the past two blogs of visits to Ghana, so I posted the links to the 2013 & 2014 blogs on the right of the page along with links to Living Waters for the World, Idlewild Presbyterian Church, and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

Stay tuned....
