Update


So, since I wrote the previous post, we have been working on our pump project.  As of yesterday, we have replaced 7 aging/broken pumps in southwest Kara.  The project has currently supplied potable water to an average of 400 men, women, and children per pump.  We have traveled 240k by moto over the past 3 days.  Villages have gifted us 7 chickens and a pile of yams that is probably as tall as I am.  Three villages have danced for us.  D’s laundry girl probably washed 5 pounds of dust out of my clothes.   

In other news, to continue my electronic crisis, my mouse broke. All I can do on my computer now is watch movies.  And so it goes.
