Dear Mr. Gagnon and Fatima,

Hope you are doing well. Once again today I am pleased to share with you the completion 3 reports (#179,# 182 & # 183):

A total of 1475 memebrs in Gopalapuram, Pankena and Nayakapu Gudem villages in Telangana state, India, now have access to water.
Your continued partnership has made a significant impact on the lives of the villagers. Our big thanks go to Marcel and Luce Baril for their generous contributions.
Gopalpuram village in Warangal District, embarked on this journey of gaining access to pure water nearly five years ago. Gopalpuram village, with its 230 families whose main occupation is agriculture, exemplifies a tight-knit community where we can see the cooperation and mutual support. 5 years ago, they elected their village sarpanch (mayor/president) through unanimous decision. This symbolized unity. Rather than utilizing the money for the election campaign expenses, the village wisely decided to save the money, (approximately $7500). With their collective vision of improving their village's infrastructure, particularly in addressing water quality concerns, they wanted to have a water purification system. However, due to some political reasons, the project was put on hold. Recently again, they were inspired from their neighboring Model Village, Gangadevipally. With the realization of the project's importance, the village leadership approached our organization for assistance.
Accepting the project criteria, water committee president-Srinivas along with Rajitha and Ramesh, took the lead and with the mobilization efforts of the village community, within a short span of three months, the project was ready for inauguration. With this project in place, the village got more potential to develop.
Your generous support played a crucial role in realizing this project and improving the lives of many villagers. 
Thank you once again for providing access to clean and safe drinking water for not only Gopalapuram but also to Pankena and Nayakapu Gudem communities by providing water through bore wells (manual hand pumps) close to their homes. 
We look forward to continuing our partnership in creating lasting positive impacts in communities like Gopalpuram.

Please do not hesitate if you have any questions. 

Best Regards
