Water Filters

Today, we held two information sessions on the importance of clean drinking water and the use of ceramic water filters. Thanks to the generous contribution of First Baptist Church, Charlottetown, we were able to distribute 30 water filters to the women of Iftin. We will be doing another distribution once the next batch of filters are ready in July.

Erica explaining how the filters work to separate bacteria and

harmful particles from the tap water.

Aaron passing out filters to the members of the second Iftin class. The ladies were delighted and so thankful for this generous gift. Many of them said that they would be bringing their neighbors over for some clean drinking water!

Tristan and Emma joined us today in Eastleigh and were a

great help in passing out the filters.

The ladies recognize the importance of clean water, not just for themselves but for the young children in their families. Water-borne illnesses are responsible for high mortality rates among children under 5 years old.

Patrick heads up the water filter production. He joined us today to show the ladies how to care for and clean their water filters.

Meanwhile, in the jewelry project, the ladies are hard at work preparing to glaze more beads. Tomorrow we will spend the whole day glazing beads to be used in upcoming sales. While the women are working we have been talking together about what to call our group. We'll let you know what the final decision is.

Erica and James preparing the girls for their upcoming exam which will be on Tuesday. The ceramic bead training has been provided under the name of the Vocational Training Centre (VTC). The ladies will receive their certificates through the VTC and their training will be recognized throughout the country.

Thanks for supporting and keeping these

ministries in your prayers
