The generosity of Canadians is amazing. Just as I wrote the last message for the blog we heard of a donation of books for a school (our committee will take care of this) and a gift to protect water springs. Protecting a spring means that sufficient cover is supplied to prevent run off from fields and houses (particularly latrines) so that the water stays uncontaminated. Most of these springs (of which there are many in the area) serve 200-400 people per day. Very few of them dry out in the dry season, so they are in constant demand. Here are the pictures of the two we have chosen.
We have a list of communities asking for a well (about $2500), or a protected spring (about $750) or- for rocky areas- a water harvesting system (from the roof) (about $1200)
