Dear Friends,
I am home from Bolivia and wanted to share some parting pictures and thoughts. Sometimes I get tired and wonder if doing this WFA stuff is really worth doing. I am in my 50s now and the only thing I know how to do is bang a hole in the ground. Seems silly sometimes. [...]
Dear Friends,
Here are a few more from Bolivia. Also had two requests for help today, one from Nicaragua and one from Mexico. They just keep coming. I talked to Teo and he says they have four rigs with four well clubs working right now in four communities. Fun stuff! [...]
Dear Friends,
Wanted to share with you some of the latest wells and WFA happenings.
We just had a great drilling class to teach folks our drilling method who are headed overseas to places like Kenya and Niger and Sierra Leon. Then Gary Mitchell from Idaho who we taught to build and supply our bits for [...]
Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

Also while I am at it the first two wells finished from the newest club that just started working. In [...]
Dear Friends,
Greetings again from Bolivia. Thanks again for supporting and praying for Water For All. Here are the most recent well pics. These from a single club that just finished their 13th well today. We also have another club that finished yesterday 11 wells but I don’t have the pics yet, [...]
Sunday morning here I watched the 40 year old big, high-rise dorm at the University be demolished. It was blown up and fell down. An old land mark on the plains here is gone for good. It was exciting as the explosive charges shook the ground and then the building [...]
