Day two we went to a water project. To my surprise, the recipient was
Pastor Sheba's community. The last team will remember him. We got our
excercise pumping the new borehole pump. Then we took a walk to where they
gathered water before the well, balancing on a tree branch to dip their
buckets. They are overjoyed to have clean water so easily available. Next we drove to another water project in progress. This community has a
natural spring where the water will be piped to reservoirs and then piped
to water points along the road. Before that can happen, people of the
coomunity are clearing land and fenching the spring site to protect it from
animals. In the afternoon we visited a household of vulnerable children. The mother
has been recently widowed and has 9 children. We sat and visited with them.
We had enough time to engage in conversation, learning more about the
children's dreams. It was a full day! (Posted by Shannon)
