"Water"

Children just love it

Here they are having a wash under the overflow from 

our concrete tank during a rain storm

This picture is a wonderful reminder

of what children like to do

 enjoying fun

and laughter in the rain

Both water tanks are overflowing again

during the down pour 

Temp 29 humidity 89%

Today we fitted a new water line to replace 

an old galvanised water pipe 

that was rusted out

I visited this house and I saw these home made 

children/s  play equipment

which was worth a picture

Some pot holes still exist 

and sometimes it pays to have 

a 4WD

The cheque for the missing water tank for Maliwo school

has finally been handed over from the shipping company 

that lost the tank in March 2016

Its taken a long time but we now will be able to purchase 

a new tank for Maliwo School 

Melten our finance manager was given the cheque 

to bank ( please don't bounce)
