Is there anything Madeline Burgos can\u2019t do?<\/p>\n
She designs beautiful brand communications. She plays a mean game of tennis. She swims like a mermaid.<\/p>\n
And she digs wells in Central America.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t easy. Madeline and fellow members of Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield VA spent 4 days drilling and digging through 50 feet of rock, clay, gravel and sand to reach a clean aquifer.<\/p>\n
The trip was organized by Living Water International (www.water.cc).<\/p>\n
The experience changed her, Madeline said. \u201cI learned the importance of getting out of my comfort zone. I think everyone should take at least one trip to somewhere unfamiliar, to have a good worldview.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met people living on less than $1 a day, and living so joyfully. It made me more thankful. It opened my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s our Madeline. She opens our hearts, too.<\/p>\n
