Help dig a well to quench physical and spiritual thirst The people of North Ghana are thirsty. Young girls and women spend hours each day walking along hot, dusty roads to find water for their families to drink. They balance large buckets of this precious resource on their heads, transporting it for miles, only to do it again the next day. So as Muslims work to spread their religion, they offer villagers the one thing they crave the most: water. In exchange for the gift of bo
