Just a quick update…
I have been taking a lot of video, and not so many pictures…but here are a few. You will mostly have to leave the descriptions up to your imagination…I need to go to bed.
Getting water…
A village….
Riding around town. This particular driver will show up again in a later post if we get to it. But until then…Greg, he sends his greetings to you and your family, as does his brother.
Working on a well. There is something really important going on in this picture…but its hard to see. Can you find it?
This one is for Greg…
They are digging their own well. Not you!

I think I figured out what’s important that’s going on! All of the Americans are sitting on the sidelines while the natives of Uganda are the ones building?! (And yes, I will admit that when I first saw the picture, I thought, “Look at those lazy Americans, sitting on the sidelines!”) 🙂

Sam and Katy, your both right. In a lot of ways water is not a technical problem…digging a well (or getting somebody to pay for a well) is not that hard. The hard part is all the stuff that goes on around the well…community involvement, maintaining it, access, keeping water clean through its entire use, and other non-technical issues. So, a big part of what Kibo does is focus on those other problems, and a big part of that is that the entire well project (well…all of kibos projects really) are run by the Ugandan people.
