"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

I would like to bring to your attention the Miaani well project. 
Loading ...
Wow…just when you think you have it rough. My prayers for these people.
Donation on it’s way !! Thanks, Fr. for pointing out this worthy cause.
For the past few summers, our parish has hosted priests from this one diocese in Ghana — they’re vacation relief for the regular priests. Recently, we’ve been doing a well-building project for poor villages in that diocese. Drought isn’t the problem there; distance and sanitation is. (River blindness and Guinea worm will give you some idea of the challenges involved.
We built two wells already, and a few weeks ago, the second collection at the Masses that weekend was to build a third. They easily collected the $10,000+ in that one weekend, so now another poor village in Ghana will get a well that’s desperately needed there.
Now THAT’s a cause you can worthily support with your dollars, rather than the “Catholic” Campaign for “Human Development.”
lucy: Thanks! It is a good cause.
I have been listening to the stories of this village trying to sink a well for years. The water is so deep there it is very expensive for them (anything would be!). And it hasn’t rained there since last JANUARY.
donation and prayers sent.
ditto
Father, happy to follow your lead. You really are a true Pastor of Souls.
Donation has been made. Hopefully, the money will be raised quickly in order to remedy the situation.
I usually research an organization more thoroughly before making a donation, but did so based on Fr. Z’s recommendation. Does anyone know whether this 501c3 is Catholic?
jlm: I don’t know if that is a Catholic group or not, but I trust Msgr. Mbinda and their bishop is overseeing the project now.
If I had money I would send it, but they do have my prayers. In a circumstance where money seems to outweigh the value of prayer I can only guarantee that my prayers will be said for God’s thirsty beloved. I sometimes dream about Christ’s sparing/sharing gospel frugality being lived around the world. My part is much smaller though.
[Pray for rain!]
Thanks, Father, for pointing this out to us. On the website it says “$25 from 1000 donors” would help them reach their goal. When put that way, it does seem attainable, doesn’t it? [For those who have the means “Go over and spike those stats” [smile]
Nothing, however, can be accomplished without prayer – so Luke, your contribution is so vital!
God bless all here, annie

Think about that!
