Hey Scott

What a great job your doing in Africa and around the world! At present I am working with our dedicated team of Kenyan Nationals in Northern Kenya. We are working with theTurkana people or as they call themselves the (Forgotten People). We have purchased a drilling rig and at present are completing our 5th well. I was hoping you could contact me about helping to raise awareness to the Turkana People and the Drilling Project!

Thank you
Dave

Scott,
Your story is inspiring and an awesome testimony of what can happen when you put efforts into improving the lives of people and place their worth above your own. Your work on Mercy Ships and stories on the old sites have encouraged me beyond what I can explain. I came across them while looking at related sites and just sat for a couple of hours and let it all sink in. I am hopefully off to the ship in 09' and have so much excitement bottled up after seeing the stories you captured. Your charity is so great and I look forward to seeing all of the good things being done in the future through charity:water.

Hi Scott-

I came across your organization via the Daughtry video. You've got a great idea and story. Good luck and keep it up.

For two decades I have trained NGOs worldwide to write solid, compelling proposals, so they can develop their projects and present their ideas to funding partners. Hope our paths cross somewhere.

My Best to You,

Dianne Aigaki
