Ingoboka Fund 2

Arlene Brown shared....Too much water is bad, but not enough is worse. We now have experienced both. With a torrential downpour in February we discovered what too much rain can do.

I have lived in the flood area of Williamsport and had my home damaged by a raging creek but the experience in Rwanda was more frightening. Crops were washed away, homes gone, and we feared for the solar panel building and the source tank at the bottom of the mountain. Again God was good.

We had some damage with fences torn down and debris everywhere, but our foundation was strong and the building stood firm. The repairs took two days. Urukundo used the Ingoboka "emergency" Fund to pay $450 for the stone and cement for the repairs. The community provided the labor.

We are blessed to have such a good relationship with our community, our neighbors.

Please excuse the wrong date on the photos. Benjamin the builder needs to update her camera.
