Elder Hinson and I just signed two more water project contracts for LDS Charities to provide clean water to the villages of Colibasi, and Valeni. We now have 4 water projects in the works, with one more pending. Both of these villages are in the southernmost part of Moldova. None of the village schools, health facilities, or public offices has running water in them. The homes in these villages do not have running water. Water is obtained from public wells, and is carried and stored in cistern located outside the buildings and retrieved with dip buckets as needed. When these projects are complete they will bring clean water to about 9,500 villagers. We are so excited to work with these two villages. They have worked hard to get their engineering designs completed, organize their water committees, and collect their money to implement these water projects. We are really helping people help themselves.
