Morning Well Visit


After heavy showers last night we are traveling over muddy single lane roads up river past cocoa plants, breadfruit, banana, coffee, mango and coconut trees. We are visiting small communities served by our wells. Each have a FFP number and are monitored often for their functionality.

Our progress is slowed by the mud and occasional large bolders. We cross some small streams leading from waterfalls high in the mountains and pass many small homes and communities. Occasionally, we pick up hitchhiking little boys in the back of our truck. Four wheel drive is a great invention.

Some of these wells are recently constructed - one out of pure chance on Ed's birthday. Each serves about 200 families of about 5 to 7 members.
