Day 4 - Finish cleaning the well; pour cement pad

Making a 'Cement Vocano' for the well pad
Dedicated to Maggie's brother
The well work went routinely today - we finished cleaning the well (producing water until the water was clear of mud and sand). Moved the rig away from the well, and mixed cement for a pad around the well. That way when people pump the well it's not muddy, and contaminated surface water doesn't go down the well.

We placed a plaque in the concrete to mark who'd drilled the well, and who'd donated the funds for the well. Maggie's brother had passed away a while back; they'd been on a Living Water trip together. The well was donated in her brother's (Tex) name.

The hygiene team taught on Jesus' walking on water, and Jesus washing the disciples' feet - both morning (for the children) and afternoon (for the women). The hygiene team, and some of the men (including Woodie) joined in the foot washing.
