Alfred Sipho Dlamini says Sanibona!
Swaziland Safe Water Project -- sponsored by substantial grants from the Episcopal Church United Thank Offering Gift and Trust Fund and Episcopal Waters of Hope with generous gifts from the Iowa Safe Water International Ministries and the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa, parishes and individuals...
The Iowa team, Melody, Dan & Greg, have made such a great impact on the Anglican Church members, who have had contact with them. Most importantly, they have truly supported the great mission of being 'fishers of men' through ensuring that we are one in Christ.
We have had four Swazi trainees on the chlorinators. And, everyday they are gaining confidence in telling others about the importance of clean water and how to make the chlorinators. The response from the members of the congregations up to now has been more than we had expected. We have only visited two congregations so far. However, we are confident now that we shall be successful in the other congregations. The good thing is that most people have become very aware of the importance of having clean drinking water, because of the many water borne diseases.
Also, we have managed to resuscitate the culture of community concern about every neighbor getting clean water. Thus, these chlorinators are not just for the Anglican Church members, but also for the whole community. This project is helping also in community coherence, thanks to the Diocese of Iowa for having technologies that can simplify the purification of water.

Greetings to you, Alfred Sipho Dlamini. It is so good to hear from you directly!
Thank you for all you have done to make this project a success, both before and during the trip. You seem to be a fine fisherman yourself, since you have assembled a strong team of water ministers. May God's blessings be your as you work for all God's people in Swaziland.
