Sharing the Gift of Water 💦

A Story by Jessica Koberling, ROTOM Water Tank Sponsor

As a Physician's Assistant, it has been a privilege to go on many medical mission trips around the world. I have witnessed firsthand, what so many people outside the United States go through to get clean water. I have also seen the devastating effects of what happens when people do not have access to clean water. I would like to tell you a little bit about the first ROTOM senior we sponsored whose name is Ezekiel. 

Total Home Transformation for Maria & Grandkids

Life has never been easy for Maria. But when ROTOM came into her life, she was no longer alone in her struggle for survival.

At a time when life seemed to be going well, Maria suddenly went blind. She couldn't see anything. Having the responsibility to care for her grandnieces and now with newfound health ailments left her dependent on her young, 6-year-old grandniece who joyfully helped her navigate this health disability.

Children in many African countries who are living in abject poverty experience extreme hunger with lack of access to clean water. And for most of these children, what we know as basic education is completely out of reach for them.

At ROTOM, we’re providing safe spaces where children can flourish and healthily grow in relationships - all while learning their potential and value in life.

FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - DAVE REED

I hope you enjoyed this March edition of our newsletter. There's so much to be excited about! By the way, in case you missed it, in October ROTOM turns 20 years old! Our team is planning special events to celebrate this huge milestone during the first week of October during a fun week of festivities going on in Uganda. If you would be interested in joining the celebration, send an email to Stephanie at stephaniem@reachone-touchone.org for event/trip details. Everyone of you is invited to attend and realize that you might not be able to make it.
In addition, we’re hoping you can help us finish a project we began back in early 2019. The goal was to make sure every ROTOM Senior has access to fresh, clean water within 200 meters of their home by having a water storage tank. Since then we have made great progress - we still have about 150 seniors that don’t yet have one. We know many of you will step up to help us raise the funds for these last water tanks. Inflation is fighting against us but we can still provide them at $310 per tank. Be on the lookout for ways you can help us accomplish this ambitious goal through Just One Drop.

Throughout 2023, we will be looking back to where it all began, being thankful for where we are not but also looking toward the future, seeing how God can use us to accomplish even more! Thanks for being a part of this journey with us and do help us spread the word of our impoverished and cherished seniors.

With blessings,

Dave Reed, ROTOM USA Executive Director
