When asked why he serves selflessly for Wellbeing, he stated: when you take for granted how easy it is to turn on a faucet in this country it’s another story in most anywhere else on this planet. Every morning a Mother before the long walk of 20+ miles is before them to find water for there family, they have to say goodbye to there children as if it is the very last time they will ever see them. I serve to simply save a Child, a Mother, a Family and a Community by giving them water they can thrive on.
