How cool is this…. I
am getting a drink of clean drinking water on the shore of Navakawau Village
using a solar powered desalination unit. This is a village that lost 70% of all
houses due to Cyclone Winston and they do not have a water source. Thank you SeaMercy for
responding to our pleas and donating these units. Everyone is enjoying the
sweet water.

Thanks
to Sea Mercy and Nakia Resort for facilitating 2 desalination units for
Navakawau Village for temporary relief. We are all working towards a borehole
which will ensure regular water for the village of over 600. Julie Kelly thanks a million! Ian
and Wendy Shields with Sea Mercy have
been fantastic!
And Cedric Holtz I think you will be
surprised who I have been with, friends of yours from Samoa! Clark James we are really
appreciative you and Octavia Hunter came and experienced
our communities. Clark, the donation you made to Sea Mercy directly contributed
to 1 of 2 desalination units at Navakawau Village. You have made a world of
difference to the health and well being of our people.
