We're staying in the capital city of Mbabane for the rest of the week for our mid-service medical and dental exams. This means we'll be spending a lot of time in the PC Office's Volunteer Lounge which has a couple of computers--a nice perk.
We wanted to provide everyone with an update regarding the community garden water project. Last week we finished digging the 730 meter trench and laid the pipe on thursday. We had a crew of 10-15 men, women, and children performing the work. The men joined the the pipe because that needed muscle and the women and children covered the pipe with dirt once it was in the ground. Now, the community garden spigots have water again! We call this "Phase I" of the project. When we return from our medical exams next week, we'll begin Phase II which involves installing flush valves and filters as well as fortifying some areas, namely at the headwaters of our source, for sustainability.
To be continued...
