Water Well for the New Library

April 2012

Cistern at Library

Before the construction of the water well water had to be carried in large canisters to the library.

Thanks to generous donations a water well was built for the New Library in Pujehun. We would like to thank all donors for their support of this important infrastructure improvement. Special thanks go to Gymnasium Grotenbach in Gummersbach who made a contribution of € 5.000 from the Christmas bazar 2011.

This enables users of the Library to take printed copies of relevant texts home while the books themselves are only available for reading in the Library.
