Editor's Note: Elder and Sister Bean were fortunate to participate in a handover ceremony involving the Prime Minister of Uganda. A news story that ran in the local papers is below. Unfortunately, they got the organization they were working for wrong (as well as Sandra's name), but it is neat to hear that they are rubbing shoulders with the elite!
Sh128b spent on water projects

THE Government spends over sh128b annually on projects aimed at delivering safe water to the people.
Prime Minister Apolo Nsibambi revealed this at the commissioning of a spring well at Bulange Zone A on Saturday.
“The well will enable people access clean drinking water and it will save them from suffering from water-borne diseases like cholera.
“We should endeavour to protect it,” said Nsibambi, who encouraged people to boil drinking water. The well was named after his father Semyoni Nsibambi. It was constructed with the help of the Union of Community Development Volunteers, Ron Bean and his wife Sandrah.
Over 60% of Ugandans have access to clean water.
