"The earth is entrusted to humanity like a garden that is managed but not owned.  Humans are responsible for being gardeners for the species of plants and good shepherds for the species of animals.  Humanity is accountable, not only for managing the domain entrusted to it, but also for the image of God humans reflect by means of their management."

OK Clean Water Project

The OK Clean Water Project began in 2003 as a partnership between a group of people in Ottawa, Canada, and a group in Kumbo, Cameroon, Africa. They work together to provide access to clean water for villagers living in outlying areas by laying pipes that bring fresh spring water from the hillsides to local compounds. Many of the residents in these areas have to rely on polluted stream water or walk long distances to carry water to their homes.
