Next to Sister Teerlink is Love Freeman.  She just got back from a mission in Sierra Leone and is cute as a bug.  Next to her is the well caretaker and then Morris.

This is the chairman of the well project and his English is perfect because he went to school in the States.  He is the one that said he was sorry for all those who contributed wells and they weren't taken care of.  He said that this one will not be spoiled and they will make sure it continues to serve their community for many, many years.

This is one of the committee members in charge of fixing the well.  He is ceremonial handing over the keys to the caretaker.  The keys went round and round till they ended up with her.

The widow woman with the school.  This is where the children all meet for a devotional before classes begin each day.  Isn't this nice?

This is some of the construction going on to add more classrooms to the school and a library.  She is the lady that has 26 people living with her, some children not even related.

We had lunch here in the park-like area at the Paynesville City Hall.

Next to one of the kiosks we saw the children playing this game, kind of like jump rope.  They take two long, thin ropes and hold them up while someone jumps in and out.

One of the kiosks or taps where the pipeline project goes to.  The problem is that the city can't always provide water to them.  We have several in the Rock Hill area that at the moment are dry.

We saw the city water and sewer people working on the pipeline project.  It is just like in America--two people standing, and one person digging.  Then I realized that the person digging was a girl!  Chivalry is alive and well in African countries...the women do all the work!

Jim was fascinated by the metal shards on this wall.  But I have noted that they can somehow get into a complex anyway--maybe they use a mattress over the shards, or just wait till the gate opens and then they come in.  There is always a way...
