| Thies - Louga, Senegal, Africa. Children from Darou Ndjaye in western Senegal enjoy playing in the fresh, clean water from a borehole well drilled the previous week just outside their village. Aided by a temporary motorized pump, the children hose each other in the hot sun. A World Vision crew will install a cement slab and hand pump next week following some routine tests to measure the mineral content of the water and to ensure it is safe from any comtamination. The well, World Vision's 579th dug in Senegal since 1986, represents new hope for the people of Darou Ndjaye. Seringe Mor Ndjaye, the 71-year-old village chief, sees the difference a week has made. "Our women were always so tired before the new well. But not now. The well represents a new beginning for us." Indeed, the well -- capable of providing 40,000 liters of water an hour -- is the first and most important step in World Vision's strategy to help communities like Bineta's become self-sufficient. Many more interventions will soon follow in Darou Ndiagye, part of the Kajoor Area Development Project. Through seeds provided by World Vision, the people of Darou Ndjaye hope to soon begin growing onions, potatoes, mangos, and other nutritious foods. They also look forward to the day when they will have literacy courses for adults and children in the village. "We want to read God's word," says 35-year-old Binetta Thiaw. A locally trained well-maintenance crew will ensure that the well maintains top performance for years to come. With a new well, Bineta Thiaw no longer rises from bed twice each night to draw water from her village's traditional well. Now she has time to care for her children, wash their clothes, and irrigate her garden where she'll soon grow onions, potatoes, mangos, and other nutritious crops.

| Lukweta Community Development Project, Zambia, Africa. Lukweta CDP homecraft instructor Jessy Siame, 25, demonstrates her skills on a sewing machine at the project office. When Jessy Banda Siame was hired by World Vision three years ago to teach basic home skills to women in Lukweta region, she was shocked at how much the women did not know. "When I first came to this project three years ago, I was very surprised to see that young girls could neither knit nor prepare good, nutritious meals," she said. She was especially concerned about how little the women knew about preparing nutritious meals for their children, which resulted in much malnutrition. But Jessy noted a great difference among the women since they began attending the women's clubs in the area. Over the past three years, Jessy has started five women's groups and taught the women about nutrition and other important skills. Photo by Fred Simposya/World Vision. | |

| Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. Rene Faulkinberry and her daughter Nicole were still unpacking boxes three days after moving into their new Oklahoma City home when a swarm of twisters ripped through the area. "That's where we were," says Renee, pointing to a small closet-cum-cave hollowed out in the debris where she and her 16-year-old daughter, Nicole, huddled during the storm. "The closet light was stayed on through the entire tornado, and it didn't turn off until three men came and pulled us out. It was like God reminding me that He was there with us, and He would be there until help came." The killer tornadoes destroyed 2,625 families homes and claimed 44 lives. World Vision immediately launched a survivors' relief operation, providing $500,000 worth of new clothing, shoes, personal care items, dinnerware, cleaning supplies, toys and games to more than 6,400 individuals. These goods were donated by corporations and more than 500 volunteers from 23 local churches and community groups helped distribute the supplies to 1, 635 families.

| Kosovo (Yugoslavia). World Vision Yugoslavia Communications Officer Rod Curtis met Albin, 7, in the shattered and largely deserted village of Semetishte, 60 kilometers west of the provincial capital, Pristina. He stopped to ask Rod where he was from. “Do you like Kosovo?” he then asked. When told it was a beautiful area, Rod replied: “Now it’s not, but it will be beautiful again.” Photos only document, in part, the horrors and evidence of atrocities faced by Kosovar refugees returning home. Many villages are largely shattered and almost totally destroyed. For most, the situation is almost impossible to comprehend. Photo by Rod Curtis/World Vision. | |
