The windmill tower is up!!

Today we got the windmill tower standing, the motor and fins are not on yet. We have been working with the windmill team of Ralphiel, Lenord, Moses, Doto, and Gabriel. We go back next Tuesday and we will have the windmill pumping clean water!!! I know other people have said the ground is hard, and it is very hard work digging/chiselling the ditch. We have met some of the villagers and are starting to learn their names and ages. We still have a long way to dig to get the water from the windmill to where the tanks will be. Hopefully the villagers will continue digging the ditch. Everyone is working hard and spirits are good, even though we complain about the hard ground. The final goal is worth every blister, sunburn and bruise we get. We are trying to post a picture of the well, but the internet is not allowing us at this time, but we will keep trying.

  1. Yee Haw!!!! Congratulations you wonderful guys!! Can't wait to see the finished product and hear about the joy you all fell when you see the water. Can't explain the joy and pride I feel for you all. I know, I know it is not completed but if I get this kind of a rush, I can't imagine what all you people get! God Bless . You will remain in our prayers and good wishes. Hi to everyone. Love to Meaghan:):)):)
