What is it worth to you?

After a tiring day at work, looking at these photos sent by my friend (documentation for our recent gift), my heart just leapt with joy :) It will be something that I will remember and cherish.

It was back when we were in cambodia, during our daily visits to the rural villages that we witnessed the lack of basic necessities in some villages. Some of the better off villages actually had water pumps and water filters donated by foreigners. I wondered in my heart how much would it be to give them one of those?

I later discovered that everyone else in the team had the same burning question. We had the heart to give, but wasn't sure how to do it. So the local pastor was approached and asked as to how we can contribute. They indeed needed those pipes and filter.

Pipes installed to transport water into paddy fields

How much is clean water worth? Priceless!!
