Football Players Dig Well in Ethiopia
Somewhere in between drilling pipe for two freshwater wells, visiting with children at local orphanages and traveling the vast landscape of the Ethiopian countryside, offensive guard Dave Harding and nine of his Duke football teammates developed a deeper appreciation for all that life in the United States affords them. The group of Blue Devils, along with strength and conditioning assistant Marcus Johnson, spent nearly two weeks in Ethiopia helping to construct freshwater wells for local communities. The group finished one halfway-completed well and began the drilling process for a second well, ensuring safe drinking water for hundreds of people nearby. http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=205429978&SPID=1843&SPSID=22672Published 1 year ago
