Elsa,

Good story. Will add to the others. Working on the gathering for the Order. Probably early July.

John brought two teams of college students from DePauw University to dig the deposito, a water storage system to feed the water taps in the village and to feed the drip irrigation system modeled on an Israeli design. John said that George was the best prepared, although getting a bulldozer from the state required herculean efforts..That work was a missional highlight for John.  He and Fred Lamar from DePauw continued those trips after we were removed from the Order in 1985,  including an entire class of medical students from Harvard which John and Dr. Joan Fleishman organized. The mission continued.
