founder, greg stout. while on a mission trip, stout realized how unsafe the drinking water was. so, he decided to do something about it--creating a nonprofit ministry that makes chlorine producing units. "one of these units that volunteers have been working on can purify water for an entire community." stout's simple unit breaks salt water down into a chlorine solution, which can then be used to disinfect water. volunteers did every step including cutting wires, molding and glueing containers, soldering them, and finally testing them out. "we're just understanding that we step out of our own lives and try to imagine how life is for others we can so easily do this and just a few of us can help so many others," said lifelong united methodist church of le mars member and volunteer, julie roy. volunteers say they feel that they're doing some good in the world and touching other's lives from a distance.
