Summer in Chilubula (Part 3)







Jo's aunt had patiently knitted lots of gorgeous teddies to give to the children in the nursery class, and it was a great pleasure to hand them out and see the absolute delight on their faces as they each received their own toy!

The other picture shows the sports arena being watered to try and damp down the dust. This may not seem that remarkable, but the water is being transported along a pipe about 50m long and is being pumped from the well using a submersible pump attached to a petrol generator! This was the first attempt at using the pump and connecting it to the generator and was made possible by some excellent work from Leonard and my nephew Mbesha. The pump was able to fill a 210 litre drum with water in about four minutes and therefore saved HUGE amounts of time and energy.
