Let's get practical

This afternoon was our first session of justice water classes. Every week we will be learning how to build water wells and filter dirty water to be clean for drinking. This is a practical thing that we need to know so when we disperse into clean water deprived parts of the world we can teach the villages how to filter their dirty water to be sanitary for drinking. It's so simple, we used things like a pipe, sand, rocks, and a jug. More people are dying from contaminated water than in war. We learned the science of filtering water and the simplicity of how to build these filters. It felt so nice to lean something so simple yet genius that will save villages all over! Just a few simple steps and we can have clean water for these people. Next week we will get more into the building and practicing making these filters. So excited there's actually something practical I can do to help save lives!!
