For decades, numerous organizations have poured relief efforts into Eastern Africa, providing temporary fixes to keep people going. Too often, though, this sort of relief is just a drop in the bucket for the poor\u2014whose problems go deeper than the material surface and can only be conquered when individuals are empowered to tap their potential for the long haul.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-605 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.9-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"WFH.9\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.9-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.9.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here at Grove City, Project Okello seeks to do just that. Founded in 2006, Okello is a passionate student group whose mission is \u201cto be an instrument of hope, healing, and Christ\u2019s love\u201d to the people of Uganda through prayer, fundraising, and awareness. Throughout the year, Okello puts together a wide array of events to support its three Ugandan missionary partners, including the Ugandan Water Project\u2014a nonprofit founded in 2007 that has served more than 170 communities through sustainable development projects and community building.<\/p>\n<p>This past November, Okello joined forces with UWP to hold its featured fall event, Wells for Hope\u2014a music and arts festival that funds the installation of rain water collection systems in Uganda with the greater goal of clearing a path for living water to flow through the Gospel. Recruited vendors including students, alumni, and local artisans set up shop around the Student Union, selling a variety of goods from button rings and stationery to photos and hand-carved walking sticks. Through a donated percentage of vendors&#8217; profits and other generous contributions, altogether exceeding $5000, Okello and UWP were able to fund a tank and supply at least 30 years&#8217; worth of clean drinking water to the 350 students of St. Joseph Kakonda Primary School in the district of Nakaseke.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-606\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.10-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"WFH.10\" width=\"334\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.10.jpg 592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-607\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.11-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"WFH.11\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.11-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/12\/WFH.11.jpg 522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(Photos above courtesy of Ugandan Water Project)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, not only were students stopping by the STU that Saturday able to tackle some early Christmas shopping and enjoy fellow students\u2019 musical talent.
