we are really being tested at the moment, on new years eve, around 5pm when all the businesses had shut for the weekend, we found out that not only was the water holding tank empty but the pump that runs from our 30 meter deep borehole was broken...after me, rob, the plumber and an electrician had sussed that out it was too late to do anything and we won't be sorted until at least monday!...that means that the whole village of hope project is without water....i have managed to arrange a 'water tank' with municipality water to stand outside the children's unit but we are now filling buckets to wash the children, make our tea etc!
what this episode does make us realise is the plight of thousands of our neighbours who live from standpipes day after day.........we thank God that our water will be restored soon, for those around us theirs is a daily, monthly and yearly problem that seems too long to be resolved.
