Katy and workers at the well. This is one of the projects she was able to secure money for. It will give the village of approximately 800 a second community well.
The money also helped buy shovels and blades for the hoes. 4 people work at a time. 2 use hoes to loosen the soil and then they take a break and the other two workers shovel the dirt into small buckets or containers. It is then hoisted on a rope or strap and dumped . Not long after we left they hit water!!!!
Ray, also named Ali by the chief, and unofficially The Old One helping pull buckets of dirt.
Holes are dug as the well deepens. The soil is very hard. These provide a way to get in and out of the well
