Water for Africa Project
WATER! (WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED)
Ron Paul
How do you announce a life giving project that will be fun and rewarding in just a few paragraphs? You get to the point in a hurry!
Beginning Feb 26 to April 8, Lord of Grace, in conjunction with Lutheran World Relief, will sponsor a fund raising campaign aimed at drilling wells and providing irrigation systems in Africa. These wells provide safe, clean, drinking water which improves economic prosperity, health, and promotes independence and proper sanitation practices. The cost for each system is $2500 for an entire community. Our goal is to collect $6,000.
This is a youth oriented project involving preschool, Sunday day care, and our teenagers. We seek your spare change and a few dollars bills each week as you leave the church. No major solicitation will be sought.
The good news is that a person in Tucson, who has seen the effects of this project, has already deposited
$3000 in our account (half the cost) and wants us to match it. What an opportunity to get involved! Several individuals within the congregation have agreed to match up to $250 each. Donate as a group from LOG or donate individually, it is up to you. This will be a good challenge as well as fun and not break your bank.
