CBN.com —Angela has walked this path thousands of times to get water from a dirty stream two miles away from home. Like everyone in her village, this is where her family bathes, washes their clothes, and gets drinking water.
Her mother, Victoria, grew up getting water from the same stream.
Victoria: “We’ve been drinking from this stream since the time of our forefathers. Although it was murky and dirty, even after settling, we drank it that way…. That’s all we had.”
As the oldest child, Angela is responsible for many of the house chores.
Angela: “I used to wake up early in the morning and go to the stream to fetch water. When I got back home, I did the rest of my chores, and then I went to school.”
The school was also two miles away. Angela was always so tired she could hardly concentrate.
Angela: “While the other students were busy working, I would fall asleep. My grades were far below average.”
One day, Angela and the other villagers got news that Operation Blessing was going to dig a well in their village.
Angela: “I was very excited because I knew my problems would be solved. I would not have to spend so much time getting water.”
Soon everyone in the village had clean, fresh water. With more time to study, Angela passed her junior high exams and is among the few students in her village to move on to senior high school.
Angela: “Getting this well encouraged me to study hard so that I can help my village one day. I could provide a public bathroom, build a school, or do something else important.”
And her siblings don’t get sick anymore.
Victoria: “There is a big difference in our lives. This well has brought us great joy!”
Angela: “Thank you Operation Blessing because of what you people have done for us. May God richly bless you. Since we got this well, our lives have been comfortable.”
