Hi everyone... hello from Kenya!
You may recall that two summers ago our Gambella village was attacked by the neighboring village. Seven men were brutally shot and killed and over 1,000 animals were stolen. Desparate drought here breeds such violence.
But this water well being drilled may be a key to future peace.
A peace conversation was facilitated by the government, our new GHNI worker Hassan, and eleders from both villages. They agreed to drill this well between Gambella and the neighboring village to foster cooperation for a brighter future.
The well will provide irrigation for both villages to grow life-saving food.
Check out this quick video -- I interview Hassan while the drillers are drilling.
Cheers,
