Mission to Implement a Pump and Irrigation System for Sustainable Farming - You Can Help!

Let's rally around a mission to implement a pump and irrigation system for sustainable farming for the villagers in Chiltiupan, El Salvador.

Please join me in making a real difference. Yes, a significant difference in Chiltiupan, the poorest village in El Salvador located atop one of many mountain ridges that extend to the ocean. Here the entire community consists of three parallel streets where unemployment is 98%. Your donation will have direct impact on teaching sustainable farming to the villagers. St. John Neumann Church of Strongsville, Ohio will be having a mission January 17-24, 2015 to help install a pumping system to irrigate the fields. It is my desire to attend this mission and help make the connection for the transition. The pumping system you fund is important, but most of all, you are helping to really improve the everyday lives of the men, women and children. Your gifts will enrich the way of life for the Chiltiupan villagers and pay my expenses to go on the mission. Your generosity will go a long way toward raising sustainable, healthy crops to facilitate the well-being of our sisters and brothers in El Salvador.
