Monday 2 July 2007: Woman at the Well

I will just include Harisen's mail, which only arrived now due to network problems

John,

Just some pictures from Sonda and Doroba.
People are in desperate need of clean water.

Harisen.

This pic shows the cleanest "well"
He will discuss beginning our well digging programme, tomorrow, with the villagers.

1. Blimey!! I've experienced some droughts before and travelled through Malawi when there was a severe lack of water but not seen anything like this. Is it a reliable source or might this dry up as well? Good news that there is to be a well digging programme. Great blip.

2. Looks like a small quantity of water there. How much water does the well produce?

   ~ Chaos

3. All the sources in this new area look pretty hopeless, but the worrying thing is that it is very early in the year. This generally happens in October or November, before the rainy season.
   harisen will discuss the situation with the Chiefs

7. why oh why is the planet like this - I mean, there's me running pure fresh clean cold water down the drain (which I quite rightly feel guilty about when I see your blips) just for the purpose of taking a photograph.

10. Oh, I sure wrote on this yesterday, but I must have forgotten to submit it!
    
    I hope they´ll have water. That´s really dependence no 1 ! Without food we can manage quite a long time but without water we only manage two days!
