Coquitlam

Canadians spend $35 billion annually on Christmas. It would take less than half that amount to provide clean drinking water to everyone on earth. Coquitlam did the math. They decided to direct a little of their Christmas money to building a well through PWS&D. That little portion was nearly $25,000; enough to drill three wells to provide clean drinking water for 900 people. Here, members of the Love Well Committee and Kids Church present Rev. Graeme Illman with a cheque. Now that’s the spirit of Christmas and the true meaning of the Holy Birth.
