Knocking Out 6 Miles, Because Why Not
It was definitely a wintery run this morning. I chose to just focus on the distance this morning, and not any sort of time. It was nice to keep things at an easy pace. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun

Where I went wasn’t completely new but it was an area that I hadn’t been in any of my training routes for awhile. There are a fair amount of places to go for my runs so it’s nice to change things up once in a while.Day 6, Another 7 Miles
Day 6 done, and even got a better time and little bit of extra distance in. Looking forward to what the rest of the day is going to bring. #hwi #sierraleoneToday Started Out Good, But Ended With Me Dropping Facebook Officially

If you ever have the opportunity to take a trip like that it’s one you can’t pass up.

Can you imagine the possibilities of a world where everyone has access…Day Of Visits And Experiences
We started our day at the World Hope International offices with introductions of some of the key staff that are involved with putting in wells. We also got briefed on some things to expect for the day and coming week. After our time meeting with the staff we got a tour of the drilling equipment and storage by Eugene. Eugene is from Nigeria and was brought to World Hope in Sierra Leone to lead the drilling teams. The tour included a lot of details on what the different equipment is used for in the process of drilling wells. There was so much I never realized went into drilling a well. After the tour we headed out to a village to dedicate a well that Hope…
