In Case You Missed It Last Time

Just in case you have a few extra dollars burning a hole in your pocket this summer and are looking for a needy peace corps volunteer to support, I've just written another grant! It's pretty much the same as last time, turning scary holes in the ground into functional and less terrifying wells. This time I'm doing it in the village next to mine at the request of the community health worker there. This project should double the number of people in the area with access to cleaner water and is coming just in time for the rainy season - when surface runoff and debris cause an increase in contamination of unprotected wells.

My site mate Missy Orr, a sustainable agriculture volunteer, lives in Salamata and has been working on this project along with a few other health-related endeavors with me this year.
