Success: 1st annual christmas boutique, december 15th, 2006

The 1st Annual Christmas Boutique was a huge success. Bridging The Gap raised $1,050. We now have $10,500 for our year end goal of $12,000. Shoppers were happy to shop for gifts that will keep on giving for a lifetime...the gift of fresh, clean water.

3 new boreholes, December 1st, 2006

Good news was received that our three boreholes were completed for the Uganda Orphans! The workers at the Kumuli Orphanage are thrilled to receive this gift of clean water. The hours of time the workers spent hauling water will now be invested in developing the orphanages.

Pumping Water from the first boreholes given by Bridging The Gap was indescribable. I was overwhelmed by thanksgiving for the team of givers that generously donated.
