At a depth of 11 meters we found water. The sandy loam soil however,
is causing difficulty as it is spalling off into the water at the well bore’s deepest
depth. The solution to this is to install the concrete culverts early, again to
maintain the well diameter and wall integrity … for digging safety as well as maintaining
the well depth already accomplished.
We installed 2 culverts today and will start digging again
tomorrow morning. The goal is to get to total depth by the end of the day. Then
the completion begins … a four to five day process. As things are going now, well will
complete ahead of schedule.
The people of the school and orphanage are already checking things
out … How long will it be? The most common question as they struggle with their
water jugs, headed to a contaminated source most likely … requiring every drop to be boiled repeatedly, in turn then requiring more firewood ... from the forest region, a couple of miles away ...
