First off, I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of you who have supported me in prayer, finances, or just great encouragement. This journey would not have been possible without you all.
THANK YOU.
I had the privilege of traveling to Mozambique for the last 10 days of my stay in Africa.
FACT: 1.1 Billion of the world's population don't have access to clean water.
FACT: Clean water improves not only the quality of life for its recipients, but increases life span.
FACT: We are doing something to reduce that first number and increase the second.
Together, we're making the lives of mothers a little brighter.
or we can brighten the future of these kids.

Beginning 8 July 2009, VOXUnited began drilling 1 of 5 planned wells in rural villages of northern, Mozambique.
Just to give you an idea.

This is what the beginning looked like.
A beginning of a new future. A future where kids can live far removed from diseases like dysentery, diarrhea, dehydration and hepatitis A.
Where more than 1 in 5 kids can make it past age 5 and grow old.
So this is the end of Africa for me. For now..... Back to the comforts that we all take for granted. I'll go a bit deeper into Mozambique in the coming days, this was just a primer.
