Well 1

Children in Mazzi, Uganda, gather around the well paid for by funds raised by 10-year-old Jack Chlebanowski. The Orvis Risner fourth-grader returned from a summer missions trip to Uganda and Ethiopia with his mom and dad, Carrie and Joe Chlebanowski, sponsored by Visiting Orphans and Ekubo Ministries. He came home with a desire to help raise money for a water well for the small village called Mazzi in the Nakasongola district of Uganda. To date Jack has raised $14,292, which means one well is paid for and only $1,880 more is needed to complete a second well.
