Thanks to the incredible efforts of Jari Dystra and Advent Presbyterian Church (Germantown)
Serabu is receiving seven deep (up to 300’) water wells to service the seven population areas
of the village. Construction of the wells began in late January and will be completed by the
end of February, 2012. Jari and her Prayer Warriors have delivered literal life to Serabu. She
and her education team will travel to Serabu in June to teach the whole village about clean
water and sanitation concerns. The days of walking miles to gather poor quality water are over
for these needy people!!!!

Thanks to the generosity of the Murchison family (Dallas, TX) a computer & art center is
being developed next door to SEC of Serabu. Formerly know as the Songu House, this home
was 85% destroyed during the rebel war in the 1990’s. Renovation of this home should be
completed by May with a grand opening ceremony anticipated in June 2012.

If Cindy Allbritton (nurse missioner on most recent trip) has her dream, every child in Serabu
will go to school, from PreK to grade 12, on scholarship. Cindy was so touched by the plight
of these needy people that she vowed to help out with tuition/education resources God
bless you Cindy!!!

Thanks to the support of SEC of Serabu and sheer determination of Mr. Abu Aback (our
blind friend) the first step of developing this resource center has been accomplished with
the purchase of property in the Bo city limits. Bo is the second largest town in Sierra Leone
and is located about 35 miles (2 ½ hour ride) from Serabu. The next step is to secure
funding to build a facility that will host a number of support resources for blind people.
Despite his handicap, Abu has accomplished much in his life and hopes someday to share
his dreams and accomplishments with other blind people in need of help.
