The pump was lowered about 30 feet into the borehole. A second pump will be installed in the next few weeks in the same borehole above this pump, and will double the potential output of the water system. This will allow the village residents to use the water distribution system not only for drinking, cooking, cleaning and bathing, but also for small-scale gardening, which is a valuable source of economic enrichment for village families.
WATER!!
Robin reads to some boys from the village.
The finished library. About 1,000 more books will arrive on a container ship in mid-July to supplement those we carried with us in our luggage (pictured).
THANKS to all our donors and volunteers who donated money or books to make these efforts possible. It is difficult to convey how thankful the village is for the water system and the library. Having enough water will change the village dramatically - we can't wait to return to see what good the water has enabled. And access to books will open many new doors for village students and adults. Abaraka!
