Support from Ed Sheeran

28th February 2019:

Another new pump, but still awaiting details. Our office staff are very busy on Forestry and Prominence is on Maternity leave.

Got the following from Éamonn this morning March 6 at 3.46 on his way to the Lilongwe airport, on his journey home to Edinburgh:

The blip you did about Ed Sheeran needs to be amended to his correct spelling (not Sheerin!)

But there's a much bigger story there as the woman on the left in the white blouse and red skirt and hat built the well and 11 others in her area. Peter taught her how. The finishing isn't perfect but they are really sound and will more than suffice.

People in the past they had a borehole but broken some two years ago and no one helped to fix it. So  they restart drawing water from swamps and open a wells. Now that Wells for Zoë has given a pump in the area, people are very happy. They have several problems apart from water. The other problem is about preschool they have one but not working due to lack of knowledge by the caregivers, they need some training (workshops). They also need trees in the area due to deforestation.
