WHI Team Trips

January 2010 - WHI sent a team of nine Americans and one Ugandan to our compound in Kajo Keji County, South Sudan for a 10 day fact-finding and evaluation trip. The team, led by three members of the Radler Foundation, are reviewing operational capabilities of the WHI Sudan crew as it relates to our Sanitation Training program, site selection, and the overall drilling process. The team also spent time in Terekaka, South Sudan where they joined in the festivities for the grand opening of the newest Harvesters Reaching the Nations orphanage. The new facility, funded in part by the Radler Foundation, was under construction for 18 months prior to the launch in January 2010. Several members of the team are also spending time researching and evaluating the launch of a new mobile medical project that will be based in South Sudan and also sponsored by the Radler Foundation.
