Greetings to everyone out there once more!
Today was our first day of work in Mahadaga. We broke up
into our project groups and headed out this morning to get started. The well
group spent some time gathering information about drill bits, and met up with Bouba,
one of the local well drillers who was trained by Brendon Earl. Cortney got to
ride a bike with one of the patients and began to prepare for PT trips out of
the village. The trike team took stock of supplies at the handicapped center
and talked to Yempabo about his electric trike and possible design
improvements. Dr. Vader and I began water testing on the mission compound to
determine the quality of the water here. The best part was climbing the water
tower to get samples straight from the pipe coming up from the well. When I
opened the concrete lid on the tank, there was a gecko swimming around in it! I
guess we should get the HFM system up as soon as possible.
Tomorrow morning (Saturday) we’re getting up early for a
team hike to the cliffs. It should be an
exciting time getting to see the Burkinabe countryside up close.
Thank you all for your continued prayers as we begin our
work here in Mahadaga.
Darin
