Water is Life
Over the last few months/years some of you made donations
towards the drilling of some wells to provide clean, fresh
drinking water for our people. I am happy to inform you
that the work of drilling 16 wells has begun and the
driller hopes to have the work completed within a
month. These 16 wells will be in addition to another 12 wells we have drilled in
recent years.

The wells are spread out in the following parishes
within our Archdiocese: Anaka, Amuru, Awach and
Pabbo in Gulu and Amuru Districts; Atanga, Pajule,
Pader, Padibe/Lokung, Palabek/Gem, Madi Opei/Agoro
and Christ the King/Wau chapel in Kitgum and Pader
Districts. We worked through the offices of the Deans in
the Archdiocese to identify those areas, which are in
most need for a well. The beneficiaries of these wells
send you their sincere appreciation for giving them clean
water. The cost of drilling one well has recently
increased to $7,000. May God bless you for making a
difference in the lives of people who thirst for clean
water. Remember the words of Jesus: “I was thirsty and
you gave me Water.”
