[singlepic id=1 w=320 h=240 float=right]Hi Water Project!\u00a0 This is Stephen Huber, Project Manager for WHI and I am happy to tell you that we started drilling your well yesterday (Jan. 7th)\u00a0 in the village of Muresuk in Kigwo Boma S. Sudan.\u00a0 We have drilled down to about 24m yesterday and hope to finish the drilling today.\u00a0 The drilling is slow going due to the hardness of the rock.<\/p>\n
Kigwo is the most undeserved Bomas (sub-counties) in Kajo Keji County.\u00a0 It has four villages and only one water well.\u00a0 Until recently, the area was very inaccessible due to very poor road conditions and unexploded land mines.\u00a0 Thankfully, deminers have been working hard clearing the road and another NGO has grated the road and built bridges.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, the villagers are very excited!\u00a0 Many villagers have shown up to help and contribute labor, materials for pad construction, and food for the crew.\u00a0 The WHI crew is very excited as well to help these people that have been neglected for far to long.\u00a0 Thank you for your support and we will continue to keep you updated on the drilling process.\u00a0 Please have a look at the pictures that were taken yesterday.<\/p>\n
