Saturday: NEW WELL DRILLING BEGINS NZIHI

This afternoon, the drilling machine and support trucks finally arrived at the Asante Sana Children's Home, Nzihi. For the past months, the children's home staff was hauling water every day for the children. The Nzihi village water supply was affected by decaying infrastructure and quadrupling of villages served by the water supply. The end result was little or no water. The supply was inconsistent. We shared this information in 2012 and a Teleios partner responded by providing the funds for the drilling.
Today, the drilling began. Everyone is so excited. Of course, there is no guarantee that they will hit water. Where now the dust flies, we believe that the water will flow.
Bernard, Bonnie, Mpeli, Neema, and I (Floyd) spent the day traveling from Mbeya to Iringa. After four fast paced days, we started mid-morning for home (Iringa). There is construction on the road so it takes a little longer than usual. We had a safe journey. We were all excited to get back to Daily Bread Life Children's home. Tomorrow, we will worship at Kideteti Baptist Church and ACTS Fellowship, Iringa. We are also going by the farm for one last look. Again, thank you for your encouragement and support.
