Adventure Well Trip! {Take 2}

Tomorrow we are headed 5 hours south to a village called Kovie'. We are putting in the 2nd well in the village, 1st one by ourselves with the new method! {yikes} Since I didn't have a blog when we drilled the 1st well, check out the link to our hangeninafrica blog for the full story. We are super pumped to be able to bring this village another well!
I have never seen a village that had such a lack of water. The new area that we are putting the well in has a hand dug well that hit granite and couldn't get through, then they dug out, basically a watering hole to catch rain water. The problem is that all the animals go there to drink water, walk through it, relieve themselves in it; the ladies wash clothes in it and walk through it themselves. Needless to say the water is the worst water they could ever drink. So we are headed back down for a week to do what we can to help these people! We will be camping in the village for the week, which should be a lot of fun! I will give you guys an update and pics once we get back!! Please keep us in your prayers!
