Saw this report and I'm amazed at the out pouring of goodwill. Thrilled with the response this project has received.

"Last week on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, correspondent Lee Cowan and producer Sari Aviv had a cover story about the efforts to get water to some parts of the Navajo Nation, where people live without running water. George McGraw, executive director of DigDeep, a non-profit trying to build a well there, was featured in the piece.
Building a well for the Navajo would cost upwards of $500,000. According to McGraw, since the piece aired Sunday, Aug. 16 hes raised $550,000, with more coming in."
