| Bellevue Rotary club secures clean drinking water for Sudanese village |
|
Marial Bai, Sudan is the hometown of The Rev. William Deng (Deacon). The drinking source for the village is the polluted Bahr Al-Ghazal River. People are suffering from cholera and dysentery. William asked if money could be raised to drill a water bore hole.
The Bellevue Rotary Club, the home club of the Rev. Dr. Peter Kalunian, Rector, Church of the Resurrection, has provided an $8,000 grant to International Aid of Sweden to drill a borehole. We are happy to announce that the water bore hole has been successfully dug on the Anglican Church property and is producing 9,000 liters of clean water per hour. Clean water is one of the goals of Rotary International. |
