Day 1 and 2 at the village

---

Day 1 in the village was great. We arrived and got to work immediately getting the well started and getting the lessons ready for teaching. We dug down 105 feet for the well and had to stop with an hour left in our schedule because one of our generators broke. Thankfully, we were still on track though. The hygiene taught about germs and how to wash your hands. The hygiene team used the glitter to teach them about germs like some of us did with the Brookdale students. The people of the village are really nice and excited that we are here. The kids were especially excited to play with us and get to know us. They really loved the football we brought out for them to play with.

Day 2 was even better. The drill team was able to dig as far as we needed to, so if everything goes as planned tomorrow we will be putting in the final pipes for the well! The hygiene team taught the village how to brush their teeth and gave them toothbrushes. We have had the opportunity to talk to more of the villagers and are creating even more friendships! Today we brought out footballs, soccer balls, and frisbees which the kids played with for the entire day. They never stopped playing.

Here are a few pictures from day one!
