Driller Mickey Moore completes 10 wells in El Pantanal Barrio.
Moore, owner of Moore Drilling Co. of Bristow, Okla., and Tulsa Rotarian Bob Scroggs, supported by Bob's home club, local Rotarians in Nicaragua and many others, have been to Nicaragua twice in as many years. So far, they have drilled and completed 10 water wells for the poor residents living in the slums on the outskirts of towns and cities in western Nicaragua. Another drilling trip is planned for January and February of 2005. Moore and Scroggs will volunteer their time, efforts and skills for six weeks to eight weeks, and hope to drill at least 15 good wells on this trip. Although neither Scroggs nor Moore speaks Spanish, they are great favorites of the locals, who have dubbed Moore, “Tio Miguel” - “Uncle Mickey” in Spanish.
