Jim and friends

Took this photo yesterday just before Jim left us for Port-au-Prince. He was scheduled to fly out today so we wish Jim safe travels. Jim is sandwiched in between Johnny and Wilkens. Will snuck in there, too.

Swell well diggers

Scoobie, Wilkens, Johnny and Guito. Behind Wilkens is Janvier and behind him is Jim. Jim will be leaving us tomorrow and we will miss him. Thank you, Jim, for your time, experience and especially your patience with us.

Jim Luttrell

Jim is hardly recognizable in this photo taken yesterday morning before church. He is usually covered in mud. Jim, from Michigan, is busy training a team of our older boys in the well-digging business. Some people retire and sit by the fireplace or buy a Winnebago and tour the states but not our Jim. He's down here working up a huge sweat and giving our young guys the gifts of experience, knowledge and compassion. Thank you, Jim.

Well

Jim Luttrell is with us for several weeks. He was instrumental in getting us the well-digging rig shown above. He's already gotten it working and is now doing some training so that a team of our older boys can dig proper wells and become independent in the process. The first well is situated in the children's southern neighborhood. God bless you, Jim.
