Help
Send Noah to Uganda! (and back)
Noah and
Wayne Medrud are at it again. The Phoenix Rising alumnus and his father, who
traveled to India in January to help conduct training in sanitation and bios and
water filter construction, are now heading to Uganda and Burundi. They have been invited to help conduct a training in
Gulu, Northern Uganda for 60 community leaders and to set up an ongoing
strategic plan. “We’ll spend part of our time investigating the possibility of
drilling 60 or more wells using an alternative bore hole drilling technique
dating back 5000 years to China,” says Wayne. “The costs of these wells are but
a small fraction of what the large NGOs pay American contractors for wells that
have a life expectancy of 2-4 years.” They will also participate in large and
small rainwater catchment systems being installed.
Ways to get
Involved:
- They will show a water video along with a slide show of
their trip to India and sharing their hopes of accomplishment in Africa on Friday May 23rd at the Triad Theater- tonight at
7:00 p.m..
- They will also be selling raffle tickets there and
drawing to be at a concert on the lawn at
The Phoenix Rising School Saturday, May 24th from 2:00 pm into
the evening. They’ll have live bands, and expect to have food service as well.
This could be a nice Memorial Day weekend outing for the family.

Water for the World, 1717 18th Court NE Olympia Wa. 98506 or on their website at
