Campaign: Brooksie Way

Water is Life! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I have been blessed with the opportunity to take two recent trips to the Pokot region of Kenya and see first hand the ripple effects that water can bring to a community. One of my most memorable moments was getting to be a part of a ceremony celebrating turning over a new well to the community. There was singing and dancing that none of my videos seem to do justice. After each group did their performance, they praised God for each of the
benefits that clean water brings. They listed the obvious things like reducing disease, establishing schools, churches and medical facilities and then they listed some things I had never thought of like reducing domestic violence and conflict with bees and other animals over water. I am humbled that such a big God has somehow figured out a way for us to play our part half a world away by running and raising funds. Thank you again for considering donating.
