Visualized it, written about it, budgeted for it, and reported on it; but this was my first time actually being on site and seeing the drilling process for water. February was a great month to be in India again for two weeks!

It is a fascinating thing to watch not only the drilling process, but also the human activity going on around such an important “event” in the lives of the recipients. People were everywhere!

One such well in one village, can usually have the capacity to provide water for 150-300 people. One of our goals in GHNI is to provide the very best of both water “quality” and “quantity” sufficient for such a village as this in Jatapara, India.

Thanks to you who provide such financial backing, we in GHNI are able to bring not only this water source; but also the critical means of Transformational Community Development(TCD), that trains TCD Trainers to build self-sustainability into every project and process we commit to. This is your work! Thanks!

Transformational Community Development (TCD) is many times in need of a “hook”, a way to gather people together in order to have a natural venue for explaining the who/what/when/where/why(s) of TCD. We in GHNI call this a “SEED” project day. It is a method for allowing village people to gather in significant numbers in order to build relationships that will foster a natural conversation on the importance of their lives specific to life-changing principles.

In the case of this event in January in the Jharkhand region of India, sports was used as this venue to build trust, a prerequisite to any truly quality TCD initiative.

It is so exciting to see this many people gathered to have fun. More importantly, it is exciting to see these same people gathered in order to hear how TCD can help them in key areas of their lives of Water-Food-Health-Education-Finances. GHNI continues to be committed to these “seed” days as an entry point to development and life-changing endeavors.

A Grand New Year and Thanks To You !!!

TIRUPUR, ARCOT BORE WELL project by the GHNI:

People those who lived in Ammapalayam, Tirupur went through much scarcity of water and also lot of physical and mental hardship.  In Tirupur our team had campaign against suicides, through which we reached thousands of people.  This area in India records highest suicide rate.  With the help of GHNI we dig a bore well in one of the village, around 400 people benefited out of this.

Another bore well was drilled in the same way in Arcot, near Vellore.  This bore well benefited around 200 people.  Through these bore wells in these 2 places hundreds of people got enough drinking water.

More than 200 families in this village, but there is water scarcity .  GHNI helped us to make 300 feet bore well with the expense of Rs.90,000/-.  The bore well was dedicated by our National leaders Mrs. Annie, Mrs. Neena.

Another bore well is digging now in Gummudipundi area on the way to Andhra from Chennai. This will complete it works next week. This is the place where Dan visited and heard the story of a poor widow.
