Rebuilding Schools for China Quake Victims - OB.org In China, Operation Blessing is helping to rebuild a brand new school and dormitory for quake victims.The school will replace one that collapsed due to the recent earthquake. Three-hundred of the students were killed. The surviving 600 students will live in the dorm and attend the new school. Balanced between trauma and uncertainty, the students try to have normal lives. But they remember what happened on May 12, and they still talk about it. The need is great, because hundreds of poorly-constructed schools collapsed in the earthquake. These new schools will be well-built, and will serve the students for several years until permanent facilities are designed. The priority is giving children a place to learn and a place to resume their lives. website: http://www.ob.org Tags: China Chinese students earthquake victims school new dorms Operation Blessing |

Six Degrees of Separation Means Clean Water for Niger It took less than six degrees of separation to bring together one mission of drilling waters wells for remote villages in Niger. In the early 90s, Yacouba Seydou left his native Niger to attend school in Oklahoma. During his academic career, he attended a local church and gained the support of members who wanted to reach out to those in need in Africa. In the midst of their partnership, the church came upon a well drilling rig and was able to obtain it for long-term use in training Nigeriens how to drill their own wells. Teams were sent from Oklahoma to Niger twice a year to work with the locals.The partnership between Hosanna Institute and Operation Blessing International continues to break ground in more ways than searching for water. In January, OBI along with German nonprofit Humedica and Hosanna Institute opened a hospital in Niger that will provide a 24-hour maternity ward and free care to children under age 5. website: http://www.ob.org Tags: clean water Niger wells drilling Oklahoma Operation Blessing partnership |
