My Pal Robbie

For the five weeks that I am in South Sudan, I am blessed to have the company of my good friend Robbie Stewart. Robbie is a fellow mechanical engineering student at UT. We had the opportunity to go Cap-Haitien, Haiti for spring break last year. During our time there, Robbie kept pointing out water wells along the side of the road. His passion for clean water got me interested in learning more about clean water. Last fall, we took a class together called Projects for Underserved Communities (PUC). Through PUC, we had the opportunity to plan and implement a clean water project in Liberia. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled because UT considered Liberia unsafe for student travel. Even though that project was cancelled, we learned a lot about working on a humanitarian project in a foreign country. While God closed the door on Liberia, he graciously opened the door for Robbie and I to go to South Sudan together. I am so grateful that we get to share another incredible opportunity together.

Here is a picture of Robbie and me at the DFW airport before we left for South Sudan!
