George's Birthday.

George Archibra is the director of our Ghana program. Below is an e-mail that George sent today telling us that the Village of Life is finally completed. We ran into a little hitch with the water but it looks like everything has been worked out. We are so excited and anxious to rescue more children. I can just picture George celebrating his birthday while jumping up and down because water is flowing everywhere in the village. George has been such a blessing to Touch A Life.

• "Your message was well-received and I am happy to inform you that the water system has been completed. Water is flowing everywhere in the village. I am also happy to inform you that today happens to be my birthday and it has coincided with the completion of the village. We've also mounted eight boxes of the beehives and we are embarking on the construction of three apartments of fish pond. This is from our own initiative to support the village. We are also making efforts to rescue the older trafficked children who will be in the village around January. We once again want to thank everybody, especially the board, for the good work they are doing. We will continue to give progress reports on the project."

Happy birthday, George Archibra! You are a good man.
