Well, well, well…

Guyana is also known as “the land of many of waters”… personally, I’m not convinced.

The project to drill a well, install pumps and bring running water to the school compound (read this post) has now been scrapped completely after numerous delays. The well that was being worked on intermittently has been abandoned altogether, in favour of a hand-dug well. Although the new well seems to be going okay so far (touch wood), it means we’re facing at least another month without running water, which in turn means flushing the toilet with buckets and walking to the creek to wash.
