[Thailand] The
city of Corat and Sikiew County in northeast Thailand have long suffered
from water shortage. Thanks to Master's mercy, She specially allocated
a sum of money to the locals there to dig two wells. All the expenses
of the project were undertaken by Her. Furthermore, this well-digging
project has greatly benefitted many poor Thai people. Both the Corat
and Sikew County officials, as well as Sikew County's refugee camp supervising
personnel, all support this project, helping us to gather the locals'
opinions and understand their real needs. With Master's blessing, the
well-digging proceeded smoothly.
After the wells were dug,
the problem of water shortage was resolved immediately. In the past, the locals
had tried to dig wells but in vain. Because they did not have sufficient funds,
they could not afford to purchase good well-digging equipment. They had to
depend on their two hands and simple tools only, and as a result they could
not dig deep enough. Consequently, they had to rely solely on the water from
the raining season ever since. In times of drought, they had to purchase water
from other cities. However, the poor could not afford to buy water, so they
had to get water from ponds several kilometers away. Now that they have the
well water, they no longer have to worry about water shortage. To them this
is a joyful event. While they are wholeheartedly enjoying the water given by
Master, the
mind of every village had also received special nourishment.
