Protected water*

We are here! 18 volunteers to cover 57,000 squares miles in 3 different countries to help install 2800 protected water sources!  Well, we will start the installations for 3 weeks and then Team 2 will come in to complete the wells. We are from AR, NC, IL, GA, CO, MI, SC, and VA.

I have to admit, I love not being jet lagged for the first day! Helped to set up the tool boxes that will go out with the trucks. Had dinner and went to bed...after fighting with a stiff mosquito net...and realizing that my kindle had attached to an internet system and the date was now set to Nov 15, 2015 at 9 am....not helpful for my wakeup alarm in the morning...sorted that out and slept well.

In the training we went over cultural differences, record keeping on androids, picture taking, installation and dedications, money, phones, tool boxes and driving! It was a long day but now we should be ready to head out! I'll be working with Kimberly Richey and we are headed to Zambia!

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement!

*Shallow wells now has a negative connotation here in Africa due to a shallow well not having a set definition and an open hole can he a shallow well and people get sick from them.
