We are heartbroken to share that our friend and colleague, Mike Narada, has passed away. For years, Mike was our “man in Kenya"... the one who made everything happen behind the scenes. Whether coordinating critical supplies, supporting medical care, or guiding young men toward brighter futures, Mike showed up with dedication, wisdom, and heart.

As one team member shared: he was always there to welcome us when we arrived—and the last to say goodbye when we left. Please hold his family in your thoughts and prayers. His impact will not be forgotten.

Thanks to Jon Van Zyle for donating this great painting of a dog musher with two sled dogs. Jon, a two-time Iditarod veteran, has graciously used his talents to raise money for clean water in South Sudan. With the Iditarod race ongoing, it's great to think of the race we're facing: providing clean drinking water to one of the world's most needy populations.

Tragic news over night. The village of Old Fangak, our base in South Sudan, was overtaken by flood water after the d**e surrounding the village broke. Luckily no loss of life. The population of Old Fangak had mostly fled from the village earlier this year after an aerial bombardment and attack by helicopter gunships. We are resolved to help, and our team mobilized quickly to move people to safety. Please consider a donation to help this evacuation effort. It's needed now more than ever. One barrel of fuel, needed for our boats, is $1,050. You can help today. Thank you. www.ahpss.org/donate
