I changed apartments a few months ago. Finally took some photos of the place. It’s similar to the other, but without running water. So like in training, doing the latrine, pulling my water from a well, and taking bucket showers.

Angelo

This little guy is always hanging around my NGO and, as every child here, loves wearing my helmet!

Digging the well

Each day they do a couple of meters--it is already almost half done now (10 meters or so); quite a grueling process! On the right here is showing how the guy gets down the hole.

Starting out on orphanage construction


Just starting now. A week in, we have builders here working on the well and final preperations. Don't worry, we only had to cut this one tree to use for wood. So far, so good! I'll keep you updated. The money just came in from DC and now we can start the actual building process. Thanks and take care.

My cute new neighbors


Updates coming soon on the orphanage construction, but still waiting for the check to arrive from DC. Should be a week or two at most when we start building. Thanks again!
