We are proud to report that thanks to a generous grant from Global Hope, Inc. – a 501(c)(3) organization based in Downers Grove, IL – for the first time ever IMN Community School now has water available on-site!  As you can see in the pictures below, this grant made it possible to dig a well in the schoolyard and to install a manual pump which will serve the students, staff and community for year to come.  The final phase of the project – which is on schedule to be completed in August – is to install an electric pump which will pump water from the well into a water tank where it can be stored for use throughout the year.

IMN has been blessed with many great partners – Kids4Good, SchoolsCountCorp, Reed Elsevier, Global Hope, and a host of individuals – who have all been instrumental in its efforts to reconstruct and get back on its feet after the earthquake.  Great thanks to all of you and especially to Global Hope for your partnership on this exciting water project!
