On December 1, 2016, Wells Bring Hope Founder and President Barbara Goldberg once again opened her home to WBH supporters and volunteers for some holiday cheer and a celebration of a another successful year in our effort to save lives with safe water.
We are fortunate to have some terrific, interesting people as our donors and volunteers who thoroughly enjoyed meeting each other.
It was a mood of celebration and relaxation, and as Charley Dobbs said, “What a great way to kick off the holiday season!”
And while this was not a fundraiser, I’d like to share a note that was given to me with a donation from long-time supporter, Catherine Kaufman: “In the spirit of the season and with love, I thank you and all who help with Wells Bring Hope. I am grateful and proud to be a small part of this wonderful venture.”
Wells Bring Hope received the gift of a wooden sculpture that was first used to line open contaminated wells in communities in West Africa. The grooves on the back of the work were worn away by ropes cutting into the wood as mothers and their daughters pulled up buckets of contaminated water. Thanks to our generous donors, their burden has been lifted.
We thank everyone who came and wished us well. We are thankful for our generous supporters who have made 426 wells possible!
