These
photos are from our trips into Mozambique and wells that our teams
have constructed. Together they tell a story of WHY we dig, HOW we
dig, and the RESULTS that come from each well.
Auzzie
volunteers are joined by the locals who love to sing while they
work. The locals also enjoy the same auzzie humour and fun
that we love. This
results in the inevitable - what do you do with all of that MUD we
have just dug out ?
THE COLOUR IN REAL LIFE IS THE SAME - NOTE THE
'OIL SLICK'
CHILDREN
CARRY WATER FROM A VERY EARLY AGE.
WE HAVE
SEEN WATER CARRIED 3 TO 5 Kms BY CHILDREN.
This
happens many times each day.
EVERYONE
HEADS OFF TO THE NEAREST WELL.
THIS IS A
VILLAGE NEAR THE ZAMBEZE RIVER YOU CAN SEE THE CROWN GATHERING AS
THE WELL GETS UNDERWAY.
THIS WELL
WAS ESSENTIAL AS SEVEN WOMEN GETTING WATER FROM THE RIVER WERE
TAKEN BY CROCODILES IN THE 2 1/2 MONTHS BEFORE WE
ARRIVED.
THE BIRTH OF A
WELL.
JEFF AND DAVE SHOW HOW
IT'S DONE.
THEN YOU GIVE THE
SHOVELS TO THE LADIES !
(Only joking ... you
can't stop these ladies from working - even with babies on their
backs. )
