January 9: Completed the base of the water tank

We completed digging the base for the water tank today with the help of community volunteers. It was all overseen by an engineer so that the tank will be built perfectly.We also pitched rock into the pit so that it can be tamped into place tomorrow. Everyone is doing well, some stomach upsets and fatigued muscles are normal for this work. The food at the Mt.Kenya Leisure Lodge is great and the 40 minute walk uphill then downhill each day is really getting us into shape. All along the way, people from the community wave and say "jambo" which is "welcome and hello."
