For the second consecutive year, Bridges of Promise partners, Karen Schuster and Sandra Fazzino, volunteered at Water Hope's Wine to Water charity event. This year, Father Simon, the inspiration behind BOP, flew in from Illinois where he is studying for his PHd in Higher Education to be the guest of honor. Hosted at the Miller Winery in the heart of Napa Valley, the dinner event combined with the golf tournament the day after raised over $340,000.
Father Simon gave thanks as he said grace. Only a few short months prior, Water Hope donated 23k to the Diocese of Rulenge to fund the construction of a water catchment tank system that will supply water to the Santa Clara Dispensary, a small medical clinic that serves his native community in Rukora, Tanzania.
The Tomkovicz family and founders of Water Hope have achieved amazing success since their conception seven years ago. They have brought water to far away places including Laos, Uganda, India, Tibet, and Tanzania. We are inspired by them and we are devoted to them for their generosity.
Father Simon Taabu
