HBG!
Woke up to light rain, which increased for a couple of hours, and then finally tapered off around 9:30am. Much needed across the country but slows digging process tremendously. Site became quite muddy with several ducks taking great pleasure in their new found Kipsongo "Pond". On a serious note; the village becomes a very unhealthy environment after light rains … the heavy downpours are needed to wash the “streets” completely. Extra precautions are the prevention measure.

After the rain let up and the sun came out, we were able to resume digging, accomplishing 22ft. by 11:30am. Built a beam with pulley system to aid in hoisting the bucket from the well bottom. I was assigned to alternate with the 3rd digger in hoisting the bucket … a sitting position – good for building upper body strength.
Clouded over again around 2:00 and rains started at 4:00, shutting down the progress. We’ll start back up tomorrow morning …
