On this photo you can see the big leakage at the bottom of the tank. This happened after we’ve filled the tank with about 8,000 liters of water. We tried every method you can think of to stop the water from leaking : tar, Pratley Steal and even pressing plastic inside … but without any luck.
We called all the neighbours from around, inviting them to bring all their jerry cans and empty containers so it can be filled. For them it was a great day, as everybody struggle with water and most people must walk quite a distance to fetch water. It kind-of felt good to know that at least we’ve managed to help some people in the area. We still however lost about half of the water in the tank. It feels terrible knowing that there is such a water crisis, and then witness how water is simply disappearing in the sand.
Please pray for us for provision to buy a plastic tank that is much more durable and stronger.
Just to let you know that it is going well with me. I am so happy with the Venter Family and trust God that I can stay with them forever and ever ... There is roomers that the orphanage where I use to stay, is moving to Meru (which is very far from us). That might complicate things ...
A while ago 2 friends - Kallie and his daughter, Sheline (spelling!) - came to visit us. Callie is currently working with the Rift Valley Railway Project which is stationed in Nairobi. They are from the same church as Rowland and Lucy Wilson, our Coordinators. It was a blessing having them over for a night at our place.

This photo was taken on the 14th of January when we still thought things will be OK ...
Michael and Brenda are the two friends from England that were staying with us in the beginning of January. Before they left, they bought us a new water tank (photo below). Here they are standing in front of the old tank ... It's obvious why we needed a new one LOL.
