We drove out into the 'bush' to visit this farming village. They currently get their water from a pond. They say that they boil the water for the children to drink but the adults drink it 'as is'. We met with the people and talked about the project and they chose people for the water committee and swore them in. It was all done in their own language so we didn't understand much - although it is surprising that we could kind of tell what was going on some of the time. They are so pleased to be getting fresh water. It will be a hand-dug well that is capped and will have a hand pump on top. That keeps the water from getting contaminated. It is exciting to be part of getting clean water for them.
When we left they cut down a bunch of Plantains and gave it to us. Plantains are kind of like bananas but they have to be cooked. Bro. Buah and Clarence took them home.
