Dear Jean and Fatima,
I hope that this letter finds you in good shape.
It is with joy that I write to you today to give you all the information regarding our four newly completed projects.
These projects were possible thanks to the extraordinary senses of share and of solidarity of Mr. Camil and Mrs. Annette Rancourt.
In 2 villages ( Ramannappali 1 375 people and Suraipalli more than 1000 people) the existence of fluorine surpassing the maximum limit in the water was affecting the health of the population and in the other 2 villages (Ekvaipally 150 people and Parwthaipally 200 people) access to water was located far outside of the village. These 4 projects will impact more than 2 725 people.
The testimony of Parvathamma, a villager, explains the tremendous impact of these projects:
“My children, my husband, and I were often sick because of pathogens in our water. Some of our neighbors could afford bottled purified water… but we could not. A single bottle of water is worth half of my daily salary…Thanks to our big-hearted donors, we now have access, in our village, to purified water, for a cost that is affordable even for the poor like us. This project has changed our lives. My husband and I are in better health to go to work, and our children miss school less often.”
In the name of Parvathamma and her family, and in the name of SOPAR, I thank you sincerely for FCC’s involvement in our projects, and I greatly thank Mr. Camil and Mrs. Annette Rancourt for their impressive generosity, which will prevent so much suffering to these people of a great vulnerability
