28 September 2009

Greeting from Kenya. It has been another picture perfect day in Njoro and were have got a lot done on the Bio Sand Filter. Sorry I have not been able to upload pictures but the connections have been so slow on Safaricom that I have not be able to upload any.

The Bio Sand Filter is about 50% filled with media and the crew is busy seperating and grading the sand for the filter. Today we cleaned the large underground cistrom and it is ready to receive fresh water from the filter.

Tomorrow I will run and test the system that we installed last year and regenerate the greensand filter for removal of iron and magnesiam. There should be no surprises or problems.

Nancy has been working in the clinic and helped deliver a baby girl yesterday morning. It was exciting and she gave the baby one of the caps that the ladies from Grace had made alone with one of the blankets.

We had a great church service yesterday and went to the Njoro Country Club for lunch and it was very good. They had great fried chicken and chips.

We are having a great time and many memories each day. Have a great day and more later.
