8 AUGUST 2024 WorldWide Drilling Resource® by Tim Rasmussen, President and Chairman, Water for Life Water for Life (WFL) has depended entirely upon donations and volunteers since beginning in 2005. What started as a simple effort to solve a contaminated water problem at an orphanage and school, has developed into an organization which has drilled more than 250 wells and provides clean, safe water to more than 50,000 people every day in Northeast Guatemala. None of this could have been done without the faithful support of many people and the kindnesses they have shown us through their many donations of effort, money, and time. As Gary was recently contacting previous donors and folks who had expressed interest or asked how they could help, he was amazed at the responses. He received a call from Doug Erickson, a territory sales manager for Certified Labs, a division of NCH Corp., who had heard about WFL and asked how he could help. He sent a full pallet of various lubricants suitable for our conditions in Guatemala. It is difficult to obtain these lubricants from local suppliers and a full pallet of these items is very welcome. The same day, he received notice of a shipment of 48 donated Baker pumps was waiting to be picked up in Spokane. Baker Manufacturing has been one of our faithful supporters for many years. There are many Baker pumps faithfully providing water to villages in Northeast Guatemala. Gary is always on the lookout for useful tools and items needed. He found an older but unused worm drive Skilsaw on Craigslist and went to look at it. It was still in the box from years ago. The gentleman had heard of Water for Life and asked if the item was going to Guatemala. When Gary told him it was, his comment was God had been good to him and he would not take any money for the tool. Another blessing for WFL from someone who wanted to help. Water for Life continues to work to provide safe water to people who would not have any, were it not for the good hearts of people who are willing to help. We know without such assistance, nothing would be accomplished. There are so many stories of such blessings that time and space do not give opportunity to relate, but the Good Lord has always been watching over WFL and continues to do so. If you have a heart to help and have useful material, time, and/or funds and are willing to donate or volunteer, please contact WFL through this publication, contact Gary Bartholomew at 509-939-1941, or visit our website: www.h2oforlife.org Thank you, and may the Good Lord give the same blessing to you that you have been to those in need.
