As I mentioned in the last report, this summer was a time of hard work, we are not done but now we have a short break. The teams that visited us are already back in their cities and different countries, a total of five different organizations represented in several groups were supporting us and surely with the agreement plans we realize that we also support those who come to do the work.
This is the case of Hunger Corp, with which we have defined a working agreement for the next two years. They made the decision to join us in the Amazon and they went back to their homes in Puerto Rico motivating others to work in the Amazon. In Water & Life we recognize and give credit to those who deserve it, the idea of making partnerships and associations are not only to receive support from others but allow and support others to do the work, we know that we can not do everything and so we work together. At the end of the day we all do the same job, that of bringing the message of hope. We all work for the same person, our creator. For more information about Hunger Corp, click here.
Just last week we had another visit of people willing to work hard, with enthusiasm and with great desire to support Water & Life in the Amazon. After a year and a half of conversing with Wine to Water (Vino para Agua) Doc. Hendley, founder and president, decided to take the challenge of joining an expedition that for sure would be very exciting for both of us. Doc Hendley has been visiting many countries in the world especially in Africa helping to provide clean water and this would be his first visit to Colombia.
In this occasion Wine to Water came accompanied by a video production team to make a documentary of what they have been doing and how Water and Life works in the Amazon. We are all waiting the release of this video that will air internationally before the end of the year and we would like to share with you all. Follow us on facebook Agua & Vida - Water & Life. We are also soon going to have a website, keep updated!
We greatly appreciate Doc Hendley and Wine to Water for this work and financial support to provide more wells in indigenous villages in Colombia.
We also had representation from Incalink International, Lisa Merritt was a great help during the time that Wine to Water was in the Amazon, this was her second visit to the Amazon region and was a great pleasure to have her participation. We are planning and asking for your support in prayer so we can make a working alliance between Water and Life and Incalink.
We can not end this letter without acknowledging the workers that each make Water and Life function, obviously we know that the giver of the strength and ideas as well like contacts, everything comes from our creator God. To Him all the glory and credits. We also want to thank the endless task of raising this organization and sharing the vision for 12 years, Gonzalo Jimenez has been at the forefront of all this work.
Jhonny Anderson Nieto who for nearly two years has taken the challenge to join us in this mission to bring a message of hope in the Amazon, he has done an excellent job in logistics with the groups and we are very happy for all his support.
Ricardo Rodriguez and his wife Lucy Lancheros have a heart for missions and have been helping to build a work in northern Bogota in a very difficult location God has been supporting them, now they joined together to the work with Water and Life, we believe that it would have been very difficult for us all this summer without them.
Please, support us in prayer that we continue to focus on the vision and so many more can join us on this work, also the financial costs to move around in the Amazon providing water are very high but we believe in the creator's provision.
We also thank the United Methodist Church of Port St. Lucie in Florida for their generous support to Water & Life.We are thankful for you.
