Namanyoni Well is Complete!
The company contracted to install the wells is called Watuwa. Mr. Watuwa recently sent the photographs of their progress on the project in Namanyonti. The trenches have been dug and the pipes run from the borehole to the location of the tapstand near the Namanyonyi Synagogue. The photographs featured in this newsletter are of the intallaton of the tapstand - and the resulting water flowing into "Jerry cans."
Below is the latst update on their progress:
April 10, 2008
Warm greetings from WATUWA DRILLS staff to all who are donating to the water project. We are glad to inform you that Namanyonyi Water project is finally complete.
We apologize on behalf of WATUWA DRILLS for the delay in the Namanyonyi work. Please allow me to tell you why. It was becouse of the UMEME power company had not granted us permissiom to pump water.
But finally water is flowing as you can see from the photographs. In fact, tonight the water is flowing into the TANK and tomorrow it they will fetch it at the tapstands.
Nangolo will be completed soon and the drilling in the next village, Nasenyi, will begin soon.
From Aaron Kintu Moses:
I hope that you had joyous Pesach celebrations. We are all happy to have the Namanyonyi water project completed.
