Being underground

Last Thursday works on the well, which provides our project and the surrounding fields with water, had been start. Yet in the morning some of our courageous senior boys helped to remove the palm leaves which blocked the pump within the well.

In the afternoon the professionals made their appearance. Specialized workers started to dig within the well to reach subjacent water resources. This has become necessary for the rain in winter was not sufficient and since then dry period has been continuing.

The workers and their equipment had been rappeled into the well. After they had reached the ground they filled the buckets with mud and stones. Other workers pulled the buckets out of the well. Melvin, the son our project leader, went down into the deep of the earth too... and safely returnd to daylight later.

Sure, these works keep to be dangerous. The workers need to have a high degree of trust in God and his protection. So let us stay in prayer and beg for their safety and for the success of digging works.

It's just one very little step to solve the water problems and a lot of support still will be needed. But with your prayers and help it surely will be possible!
