Requiring Your help to build a new tube-wel for drinking water.
Hello my fellow steemers.I am writing this post to get some help from you all.I live in the city called negombo in western part of Sri Lanka.I recently joined steemit and currently working as a security officer in the government sector in Sri Lanka.Many of you all might be unaware of the severe drought in Sri Lanka.Recently there was flooding in all southern section of the country but unfortunately for all other parts of the country It did not rain from January 2017.We obtain drinking water from the wells and as it did not rain the water level in the well which we get drinking water has gone down and now its not possible to obtain water from the well.The following article was posted on February 2017 on indian news express.
To obtain drinking water I need to build a new tube-well soon like in following picture.For me to build it it will cost around In sri lankan rupees around 20000 thats around 150 US dollars.I am a government worker and my monthly salary is around 50000 sri lankan rupees for a month(approximately 350 US dollers).Currently 153 Sri lankan rupees = 1 US dollar. I will be getting my salary on 20 th of this month.but I cannot use it to make the tube well as I am the one who look after my family needs.My wife and I live with my parents and we are also looking into their needs.So I had to lend 150 USD from a friend telling him that I'll pay him next month.
I took some photos of the well and the remaining water will be enough for few days.Before the drought we could take water from this well just by putting the hand.I kindly ask your help to build my new tube well.I will start building it soon when I find someone who makes tube wells.I need to start it as soon as possible as the remaining water level of my well is going to be over in few days.I wiil post the construction of the new tube well when building.
I couldn't match the generous help from @stellabelle, but it's done, this is all I've got to spare this week. If a week passes and you are still short of your goal, please let me know!
wow @sircork, you are indeed a great guy, bless you
I have been helped. I must help others. I did what I could. And let's be clear, I really am in no position financially to do this sort of thing. But .... I have this murky idea in my heart that somehow, this will help me somehow down the road. Pay it forward and never look back.
Amen..you said it all...amen.
Oh there is probably more to be said, but I think you got the point ;)
Welcome
