ND Mission 2024, Report #1
Dear Friends and Families:
After 5 days on the road, we are taking a couple days off to get some rest and update you on our activities. Following is a brief summary. We to follow up with more detailed reports soon.
We achieved a lot. Despite some setback received on consecutive days when two previously communities walked back their previously agreement to install our clean water systems, we still have no less than 6 systems to install in the coming weeks in Tiền Giang, An Giang, Kiên Giang, and Đắk Nông. Specifically, we have approved the following organizations and communities to receive our clean water systems:
