Kyle told me about this chapter in a book called "The Revolution": Clean Water. The chapter is about desperate need for clean water in Africa and in poor countries in general. Kyle is writing about it in his blog, which you can read here. I agree wholeheartedly that beyond just developing a clean water supply for these communities, it is important to form relationships with the people. Through relationships, an understanding of the people's needs can be gained as well as their trust and cooperation. Then, a sustainable clean water supply can be developed tailored for the people. Not that I know too much from experience, but it sure makes a lot of sense.

Clean water for all humanity is something I care about a lot. I believe that it is something God has put on my heart. I haven't been able to do too much about it yet, but it is my dream to, somehow, someday, use the education and skill God has given me to bring sustainable supplies of clean water to those who desperately need it.
