For washing clothes, dishes, and bathing, her family would use the filthy Buriganga River. In the dry season, even the Buriganga was impossible to use, so they would go without. Now she has water at her front door all year round. It is better quality than any water she has ever had access to before and she gets to use that for every need. No more using the Buriganga River. She was truly grateful for this incredible change for her family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2011\/02\/Rahelas-water-pump.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[1022]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1016 aligncenter\" style=\"margin-top: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px\" title=\"Rahela's water pump\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2011\/02\/Rahelas-water-pump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ywupdate?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=1022&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrissy Palmerlee &#8211; Chicago, IL Do you and your church support Covenant World Relief (CWR)?
