Final work day

Yesterday was the final work day in Chaveneau-  Pastor Cornet and his wife, Pastor Duval and his wife, the mayor or Chantal, many people from Carrefour and many from the community of Chaveneau will participate in a dedication ceremony this morning when we will all get to sample CLEAN WATER from the building.  We will drink the water like communion- all together after a prayer and some words from special people.  It will be an amazing time I am sure and quite emotional.  I have already cried - especially yesterday when the first bottle of water was filled and capped.  God is good!  :)

Chris drinking the clean water that was produced with the system!  

They put back up the fence so it is more secure!  HU paid for that a while ago but they wanted to wait until all work was complete- it looks good

The girls watching.... we had so much fun!

Our operators!  Charlot (L) and Manuel (R) ... they now have a PAYING JOB!  :)  So excited for them!

The team with the operators and the FIRST bottle of water!   

The people in the education class (to learn about when to use the clean water for their family) will train others in the community now!  They made a banner for the celebration!

The women took a walk and I thought this was cute- to see the children watching them take a photo (trying to see the screen of the camera as the photo was taken)

And THIS is why we did what we did.  We tested the water from the current water source (they drink this every day- orange label) and within 1.5 days it looked like this and smelled horrible.  The one on the right is the well we just hooked up to the system.  We are convinced by the way is is turning that when we go back this morning that too will have turned black and smelly.  This is evidence of bacteria in the water that can make people sick.
