Although rain has come to some of the area, adequate water supplies for drinking, cattle, and crops are still not available. Many persons in the out- lying villages need to be abandoned because the sides of the wells cave in. MCC funds provide cement for lining the wells so they will remain in service over extended periods of time. About $100 will provide the labor and cement needed to complete a well. The response of the students to this project was overwhelming. A total of $481.40 was brought in by students for this project. Each of the teachers had a creative visual display which helped the students see the progress they were making. The students not only experienced the joy of giving to persons in need but also became better informed about their neigh- bors living in the central African country of Chad. These Kraybill students built a model of the African town which will be getting a new well, thanks to the students’ efforts. = a AR ah: Ema ZS nmi amad aad NW Tt MN bed (DD PF Pg
