Tunza maji!!

Hey hey hey! So Thursday and Firday we finished the windmill, and we finally have clean water! yeah, it was pretty exciting! :) It was so crazy to watch the guys finish the windmill. They just climbed up to the top (12 meters) and screwed in all the fins and the motor and stuff with just a little piece of chain holding them on. The days get pretty hot obviously, so Nickey, Claire, Kat and I had a water war with three of the workers. That's right, not just a fight but a war. :) We might have got owned, but they were wet too by the end of it. It was super exciting to see the water finally come out, but we're still working on that 500 m. trench. Nickey and Claire paced it out and we've done 228 paces, and we have 332 left to go. Plus we have to make sure it's deep enough the whole way. The people are really nice everywhere. We had to move some rocks and sand from one area to another, and they walked faithfully back and forth with us everytime. Nickey, Katherine and I went in the truck with Gabriel a few times, and he decided that Katherine is Tanzanian becasue she has dark hair, I'm half Canadian half Tanzanian becasue of my freckles, and Nickey is just Canadian with her blonde hair and white (tanned at most) skin. Then today we got to go to our first orphanage! We went to the House of Hope which is run by the Ursline Sisters, and of course, the kids were beyond cute. They had these drums made from oil drums that they played for us; it was pretty cool. This afternoon we have some ladies coming in to measure us so that they can sew us whatever we want from the material we bought. :) We've also taken to having dance parties in the back of the truck and singing Taylor Swift. Well, some of us have at least. Miss everyone tons! xoxo
