Man was digging a hole for about 40 days. His neighbors thought he was crazy!

A missionary that my church supported was putting wells in villages in India. They cost $750 and changed the lives of the people that lived in the villages. The children had to walk 5 miles each way to get dirty water from a stream or river. After the well, the village had clean water and the children could do what children should.
We received word that the missionary has not been heard from for several months now. Why, we don't know.
We take for granted water from the tap. The fact that such a small sum could change the lives of so many is amazing. Clean water is a problem world wide.
My daughter is the director of an international non profit foundation that is doing water projects in Africa. Here are some facts from their web page:
Over 1.5 billion people do not have access to clean, safe water.
Half the world's schools do not have access to clean water, nor adequate sanitation.
On average, women in Africa and Asia have to walk 3.7 miles to collect water.
80% of all illness in the developing world comes from waterborne diseases.
Aw...India..! The home of 2.8 billion people without toilets contributes to their open water pollution.

Interesting. You folks are doing good work.
A good argument that supports birth control, plus freedom and education for women. As it is India keeps on breeding, with ever increasing misery.

Where ignorance is bliss?
I kind of doubt ignorance leads to bliss, as together with overpopulation it contributes to wide spread misery, including the destruction of natural resources, over-crowding, prejudice, disease, malnutrition and starvation. Not to forget the social disasters, in history well known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Death, Famine, War, and Conquest...
