Happy birthday, Mom!!💗💐
The count for weeks 1&2 is 1,262 wells installed! I’ve personally witnessed 70 of them! From gogos (grandparents) to children, everyone excited for this safe drinking water (or just to see a mzungu). This water that will cut down on diseases, cut the hours spent walking for water, make life just a little bit easier.
We’ve been gifted rice, cassava, chickens, bananas, plantains, lunch (rice or nsima with meat). There have been songs and dances, hugs and laughter. So much joy!
The driving is long, bouncy, and exhausting with mango trees overhead (got to watch those pipe racks), potholes below, people and animals coming from both sides. I broke a bridge and then spent an hour and a half watching people repair it.
Francine and I moved to 3 different hotels as e we moved up the lake and still haven’t had time to swim (NOT my choice) but we’ve seen some gorgeous sunrises.
Now I’m back in Dwangwa (where we started). Francine has gone to work around Mzuzu. This having 2 trucks is different…
