Our prayers were answered at MissionsFest 2010 and we received a donation that will cover the cost of the entire system. That system will be installed on June 17, 2010!

On December 5, 2009 I was invited to visit this small CSPS Clinic in Balembar, Burkina Faso, West Africa. We drove about five hours by road and then about an hour off-road to this remote village. When we arrived we found a small moto drawn "ambulance", a "waiting room" with an expectant mother, four new born babies and a grungy "delivery room". I met with the person that oversees the facility and he explained how they have a single kerosine lamp to light the room while the women give birth at night. I'm currently raising $949.00 to purchase a small solar powered lighting system for the clinic.

Through your answered prayers and faithful giving, on June 17, 2010 we installed our first solar powered system in West Africa! A few days later, the nurse from that village found me working in Nakar and said, "you have saved a village".
