On September 14, Golden Year 3, 2006, representatives of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association visited the second borehole project that was drilled at Korrompoi Primary School, about 1 hour’s drive from Nairobi. They were welcomed by the headmaster, one of the teachers, hundreds of school children and a few local inhabitants.

The children were preparing for lunch and one could immediately see the immense benefit for these children and many of the local inhabitants because they were queuing to wash their hands and some were taking clean water to drink with their meal. Also, the children queued to receive a vegetarian meal consisting of corn. As the cameramen were filming the happy children, the headmaster, Mr. Daniel Naingola, presented heartfelt thanks and appreciation in honor of Supreme Master Ching Hai, Her Association and the borehole company - Living Water International. He further showed gratitude for the significant changes in the villager’s lives that resulted from making clean water available.

Mr. Daniel Naingola explained that previously the children had to fetch unclean water from a river that flowed only a few months of the year, many kilometers from the school. If they wanted lunch at school they had to bring their own water so that the cooking staff could prepare their meals. Before the project, children, as young as three-years old, had been walking to school many hours everyday with a heavy load of water. Often, fatigue from such responsibility created an unpleasant mood for many of the very tired children who struggled to concentrate in class.

The headmaster went on to explain that since clean water is now always available, everyone has become much happier. The children have more energy, concentrate better in class and their grades have improved. They no longer have the burden of fetching and carrying unhygienic water. They have a nutritious vegetarian meal at school everyday, provided by the World Food Programme. Such a meal might not be possible if they stayed at home. The local inhabitants who live in the nearby villages are now also able to fetch clean water from the school all year round.

The initiates then went to visit some of the local inhabitants who lived in villages a few kilometers away from the school and who benefited from the project. In one village lived a Masaai tribe. As initiates arrived, Masaai mothers appeared from the open fields carrying buckets full of water and wearing beautiful and colorful traditional outfits. Daniel Naingola introduced the Association members to these beautiful inhabitants. After unloading the buckets, the ladies gathered together and performed a spontaneous welcoming traditional dance.

An initiate who was wearing a pendant with Master’s picture explained to the tribes-women that it was Master who provided the love, finances and instructions to make clean water available to them. They gratefully thanked Master for all She has done for them and said that they wished to personally thank Her.

The 99-year old lady gives genuine thanks and appreciation to Master.

Another nearby family included a 99-year old lady. The Association members explained the purpose of their visit and she gave genuine thanks and appreciation to Master as well for making clean water available for their family.

For all of us during this visit it was touching to see how appreciative and grateful the people were for the gift of water and love from God.
