Checking up on digging

I just went around to check out the progress going on with digging. Much to my surprise, things are going quite well overall.

We had a bit of a scare, when we had rain for a couple of days. But we've returned to the dry heat once again. Thank goodness, because we still have a few meters to dig. We'll check next week to assess the progress again. Enjoy the pictures below:




Finally a small vacation! Here's me (Brad Schallert) at Rhoumsiki, a geological attraction in the Extreme North. This was our first vacation (only one day) since arriving at post in Tourou.

Two workers in the small village of Toufou I use traditional picks to peirce through conglomerate rock. It was unannounced to AVISE that this well was actually being constructed. It was 2 m deep after only a day and a half of digging.

The well in Toufou I again with AVISE President Abdou Aminou overseeing the work.
