Water Well Project Brings Gift of Life to Iraqi VillagersBy Master Sgt. Brian S. Orban, USAF
Special to American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 18, 2007 – Cradled in his hands, Hamzah Zayd Kazim held the promise of a new beginning. The plastic bottle held nothing more than water drawn from a small hole tunneling more than 30 feet underground. But to the people living around the Iraqi village of Sedamine, the bottle held much more than just water. It meant regaining their livelihood and independence.
