<h2>Update 2013</h2>
<p class="headpara">This winter, our partners at Vox United returned to Mozambique for another incredible well-restoring expedition. But this time, they traveled with two award-winning photographers to document the stories of lives transformed by clean water. Here is a selection of the work that River to Well is doing, in partnership with Vox United. We couldn't be more proud, thankful or excited to share these images from Patrick Kelley and Eric Kruszewski:</p>
<!-- <p><img src="" alt=""><b>Patrick Kelley</b> is a world traveler, award-winning photographer and a naturalist at heart. An avid diver, camper, climber, hiker and biker, his interests have led him on adventures around the world. Patrick specializes in travel, event, editorial, portrait, product, architecture and underwater photography; and currently resides in Kapaa, Hawaii. To see more of Patrick's photography visit <a href="http://www.pk-worldwide.com" target="_blank">pk-worldwide.com</a>.</p> -->
<p class="clearfix"><a href="http://www.erickruszewski.com" target="_blank" class="portrait"><img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/eric_kruszewski_portrait.jpg" alt=""></a><b>Eric Kruszewski</b> Eric Kruszewski is a Baltimore, Maryland based photographer specializing in editorial photography, photojournalism, reportage and travel. After a 10-year stint in design and construction, he resigned (March 2012) and proverbially followed the passion for photography. He follows his heart and gut and receives the utmost joy photographing people and connecting with others. <br /><br /> Now working globally, Eric has documented such issues as Haiti’s earthquake recovery and water crises in Mozambique. He has received many awards including honors from the International Photo Awards and Travel Photographer of the Year.<br /><br /> Eric's work has been published by National Geographic (online), National Geographic Expeditions, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, AAA Living, The Huffington Post and Slate, among others.

<p>In Mozambique's remote Cabo del Gado Province, international NGO VOX United, and its representatives, visit with locals to assess water well pump operation.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique2.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique2.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>When water well pumps break, it may take months or years for organizations to address the issue. Here locals clear away debris from the well location.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique3.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique3.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>Under advisement of VOX representatives, locals remove the pump internals during repair activities. The organization engages residents so they learn the maintenance, installation and have a sense of ownership.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique4.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique4.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>After pump repairs are complete, residents bring their colorful buckets and collect water. They oftentimes utilize a coconut shell for distributing water between buckets and washing their hands.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique5.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique5.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>When pumps are not working, locals use nearby rivers and swamps to do laundry and bathe themselves. Oftentimes wildlife or waste streams contaminate the water, thus increasing the dangers of widespread disease.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique6.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique6.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>During each trip to a new region, VOX representatives have a specific number of wells to target. They pack enough materials and parts for the entire journey.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique7.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique7.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>For each well, GPS coordinates are documented. In addition, a well report is generated to note the pump diagnosis, steps taken to repair the pump and the number of community member that the pump serves.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique8.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique8.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>Depending on the severity of the pump malfunction, repairs might take 10 minutes or several hours. But once water flows again, children are usually the first to flourish.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique9.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique9.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>When pumps are broken, residents can travel up to 5 miles (8 kilometers) to collect approximately 3 gallons (12 liters) of water. Without water locals have poor health and no energy or vivacity.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique10.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique10.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>During a pump repair, locals gather around a fence and curiously peer through its cracks.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique11.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique11.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>A tiny local market has bottled water available for drinking. However, with little monetary income, locals choose to drink water from the well (adequate for health) or river / swamp water (usually polluted).</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique12.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique12.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>The wells reach depths between 25 and 145 feet (8 and 46 meters), thereby requiring manpower and tools to install and repair the equipment. The pump materials are imported; therefore spare parts management and distribution are oftentimes a hurdle in pump rehabilitation.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique13.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique13.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>Well water is fresh, clean and healthy, and it acts as the main drinking fluid for local residents. While sitting on the floor, Mom and Dad wash down lunch with cups of water.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique14.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique14.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>With temperatures easily over 100 degrees (F), with dry, dusty conditions, children use the streaming water as a chance to clean their dirty feet.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique15.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique15.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>A water pump is usually a flourish of activity for remote communities. Children have just as much fun playing with the water pump as they do in the local fields.</p>
</div>
<div class="image caption">
<a href="img/update/kenkruzewski/mozambique16.jpg" class="colorbox" rel="update">
<img src="img/update/kenkruzewski/thumb/mozambique16.jpg" width="880" height="250" alt="">
</a>
<p>Functioning wells bring fresh water to homes, but without sustainment and accountability, the efforts are a fleeting endeavor. More work must be done.</p>
