A New Year’s Note from the Program Director

January 6th, 2010

Dear Water to Thrive Supporters,

Happy New Year! 2010 brings so much excitement to me as I envision the force of change that is in motion for the wonderful water ministry of Water to Thrive.

Thank you so much for all of your support throughout 2009. Together we were able to accomplish great things for those living without their most basic need – the need for clean water. 50,000 people are now rejoicing with the gift of new life – - the result of hard work from many, sacrifices from many (time, financial, and other), and a ton of generosity and faith-filled diligence to be of service to those in need. How rewarding it is to know that we have literally given new life to people that needed our help in AFRICA!  

I get to wake up each morning and call it a “job” to transform lives. What an honor. What a gift it is that I get to call the world “my office.” I get to be a voice for the people of Africa, and tell their story to anyone, anywhere, who will listen. Thank you for listening. Thank you for becoming part of this voice.

The more we eduate people about the water crisis, the greater our voice becomes. The greater our voice becomes, the more change we create in the world. And the more change we create in the world…well, I believe the greater purpose we have in our lives, the more love we have in our hearts, and the more joy we bring to this world.

Thank you for being part of this blessing that Water to Thrive is. I am grateful for your support of the mission for clean water. It is part of my duty to share with you the gratitude that we recieve from the communities that have been transformed by water that YOU have made possible. So, as I often say…ON BEHALF OF THE THOUSANDS of rural Africans whose lives are forever changed….THANK YOU.

With gratitude overflowing,

Becky Turner
