Today was our first day to work, our main goal was to sort out all of the tools that we brought with us from the United States. First of all I want to thank everyone who donated to make this possible.  I would like to thank the Wooster Lowe's for donating a bunch of tools and toolboxes that will be handed out throughout our time here. Next, I want to thank those who donated financially which allowed us to purchase tools at discounted prices from a local store owner, to be able to be used to help Africans have safe clean water. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to hand these tools out to the teams, I'm sure it will be just like Christmas morning to them.
After lunch, we went back to the Water for Good office to continue to evaluate improvements that need to be made. Next we decided to hook up the solar panels that were mounted on a stand so that the office could have solar power back up for when the electricity is not on from the city. Walt got up on the ladder to do most of the wiring, it is nice to know someone who can keep the wires straight.
Tomorrow we will leave at 5 am to begin our journey to Beberati which is where the water well drilling facility is located. This journey should take between 12 and 14 hours.  We plan on doing many repairs and maintenance to help get the rigs ready to drill more wells. Walt will do some training on hydraulic systems as well. The rest of us Will work to turn a 40 foot shipping container into an office for the maintenance teams to use.

Thank you for your prayers
Tim
