<div><div id="yiv4608664214"><div>In Kawangware there were several sources: when we first arrived women carried it from the canals. Then the men put on waders and carried it from Nile for us to put iodine in so we could use it for drinking and bathing; then Cairo patrons gave us $100. to buy a drilling bit I think it was. Wayne Nelson, Gene Boivin and village men choose a spot about 200 feet from the Nile to begin drilling by hand to get fresh water. It wasn’t very deep but it was clean. A hand pump was installed so villagers and ourselves then had clean water. Did I get that right? I am sure that you, Jo Nelson, have a better memory than I, so please elaborate and correct me if necessary.
