Week 1

Sunday: arrival of the rest of Team 1 and travel to Mponela for orientation.

Monday: long day of training. Learned a lot and met the team after a night's rest. (Getting off the plane with that jetlag makes people fun but we don't necessarily remember a lot)

Tuesday: travel to Tanzania. Leaving at 5am and arriving at 7pm. (Losing another hour to a different time zone).

Wednesday: changing money, getting phones set up, more driving practice, flat tire

Thursday: first well installations! 12 in and so many happy people. We were fed in the village : rice, chicken, eggs, beans, cabbage

Friday: 11 more in and another meal! On the way home we completely broke the back pipe rack (holds the pipes on top of the truck so they don't bounce too badly). Made it back with a few more stops for adjustments.

Saturday: 12 wells installed and we got to hold some babies.

Sunday: church in the morning and rest in the afternoon getting ready for another (full) week of installations.

Hoping that our vehicle adventures are about done!
