FULTON, Mo. - One year ago, a Fulton youth group decided it wanted to make a significant impact on the lives of some in need.

Crossroads, Central Christian Church's youth group, chose to raise $13,700 to build a deep water well in Africa. The youths have reached that goal.

"It feels so nice to help out, because they could always use clean water and more water," said youth group member Maggie Gowin, 17.
