Project Water Tower

I have had a couple of inquiries about how people can help us reach our goal of funding the purchase of a water tower at God's Town. As you can see I now have a fundraising thermometer and it's moving rather slowly. We had one very large generous donation from a friend of Linda's and the rest has been from my selling candy and snacks to my chocolate addicted co-workers and donating the money for the tower.

Just imagine not having consistently running water, or filling a bucket before you go to bed just to make sure you've got some to dip into for your "shower" in the morning in case there is none available. Having a water tower will be more than helpful to the children and staff at God's Town, it will literally get them threw their days better. 

The group that initially started God's Town I can only assume had at least thought about a water tower as is proof here by the concrete that was laid for it. However for whatever reason they felt other things more important. Althought I can't think of much more important than having water. They also were not the ones who believed in God's Town becoming self-sufficient and creating a working farm.  But hey, everyone has different ideas, it's just a good thing the people with the idea of making God's Town more self-sufficient are the ones working with them now.

So, if you'd like to help us raise the temperature on the fundraising thermometer, please consider donating whatever you can. Please be sure to make your checks payable to One Heart as that is the church's mission fund which sponsors God's Town. If you'd like to specify your donation towards the water tower simply put God's Town water tower project in the subject line. Donations of any size, which are tax deductible, should be mailed to: One Heart, c/o Penbrook United Church of Christ, 56 Banks Street, Harrisburg, PA 17103.

Coming up more trip adventures, pictures, video and information about our newly sponsored young man, Sebio's friend Eric.
