Providing More Than Just Clean Water

ByTim Nolte Updated on

I’m getting closer to my goal, only $255 to go. Partner with me today to bring clean water to another 14 people. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Putting in a well in a village in Africa is not about just dropping a handout to people and then moving on. A well is the start of helping a village help themselves. The responsibility of the well, and the well-being of the village, is on a team of leaders from the village. A real example of the saying, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.”

It was a pretty good recovery run today. I was happy to have such a good pace after my 20 miles on Saturday. I could tell that I was still a little sore but easily on track for the week.

When water isn’t easily accessible to a community most often children are tasked with making the journey each day to gather a…

    Feeling Very Out of Shape on My Long Run

    ByTim Nolte
    After getting through about half of my run in this morning I could tell that the second half was going to be a struggle. Over the past year, even though I haven’t stopped running, my running wasn’t always as consistent and my diet has been all over the map. These two things of course have…

    An 8 Mile Tuesday For Clean Water

    ByTim Nolte
    In a time when many of us are stuck in our homes I’m glad to still be able to get out and run. I could definitely tell things were quieter than normal when I was finishing up my run. I am glad to know that, so far, no cases of COVID-19 have been reported in…
