A few months ago the Rotary Club of Shin Jeju, Korea visited our place and agreed to put in a hand water pump because of the lack of drinkable water during our dry season. The well digging machinery was here a few weeks later and dug the well and that was the last we heard from them.

It wasn’t long before it was being used regularly, but the pump was in the direct sunlight and so during the day it was very uncomfortable doing the wash there. Therefore we decided to put a covering on it. As we were finishing up the project we got a call from the Korean Rotary Club that they would be coming out and so, as things often go around here, the last nail was being driven as their cars pulled up.

They also brought with them crayons and pencils plus snacks for the children, which were gratefully received…

And immediately put to use by some,

While others decided to get their nap in first before getting started.

We are very grateful to the members of the Rotary Club of Shin Jeju, Korea for their generous donation of this pump which will provide clean water for not only our children but also for the local community.
