Living Water, Intl.

I am not going to complain anymore about my 'hotel' room. I met Robert and Ruth Search of Living Water, Intl. They are staying in this hotel to take a break from living in the rural areas and to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Living Water is a charitable organization based in Houston that drills and maintains water wells, builds latrines, and educates the folks about hygiene. Robert and Ruth are the only ex-pats here; they have spent four years empowering teams to do this work for themselves. The Searches have adopted a local orphan girl, Mariatu, who is now four and the favorite of the hotel staff. Ruth invited me to see what they are doing in the villages, and I hope to have the time to do so. Coincidentally, our family already contributes to Living Water because of its Houston and Africa ties. I encourage you to look it up on the web.
