On Wednesday Joyce & I took the 4 kids who are not in school, Rosa, Antonio, Cesar, & Pedro to Maranantha to complete the well there. This is an extremely poor village with homes of patchwork tin, particle board, and lumber; no electricity and no water. It's also in a mountainous area that is very dry and we had to hike far down into the valley to be able to find water; but God provided and now they have 'living water'!
Antonio, Rosa, & Cesar hand out gifts on the way out of the village
Across this rivulet lies our well location.
The hike back up out of the valley, Rosa looks ahead to Antonio.
Some of the local men enjoy the fruits of their labors!
Finally they have water.
Antonio plays in the water by the pila while Pedro looks on.
Pedro thinks he's found a water park!
Cesar's looking for someone to splash.
Assemblying the pump head and stand.
