| As we wait in a traffic jam on Bombo Rd we see a bike load of lumber. Somehow he manages to get thru! Looks heavy! We are on our way to Semutu to see about 800 school desks. |
 |
| Further along the road we start to have a market, which adds to the congestion. |
 |
| Selling a little bit of everything. Whatever you need! |
 |
| The green in front is matoke, green bananas. Everyones favorite! |
 |
| Water is Life! We are behind a water truck. |
 |
| School has started here but not everyone has shown up for the first week. Elections are still happening and perhaps that is the reason for such few students. |
 |
| Just one student in this classroom, but not any teacher here either. |
 |
| A few more in here, but still no teacher. They do seem to be busy on something. |
 |
| This is a bike shop we pass along the road. |
 |
| Maybe a few customers are here. |
 |
| We could not resist this nice looking hotel! Let us know if anybody is coming and we can make a reservation! :) |
 |
| The first site in Kayunga. This is the only water supply and they need a new borehole with pump! This is very slow and shallow so the water is easily contaminated. |
 |
| All the school kids came to check out the Muzungus. |
 |
| E Howard talking with the men in charge. Godfrey (our contractor) and Martin rode out with us. Martin has been a big help in motivating the villages to come up with the deposit. 10% |
 |
| S Howard, school kids and some moms. Everyone likes their pic taken! |
 |
| We happened to arrive right at lunch time! Cooked fresh, right at school. a nice warm helping of posho! Everyone loves this!! E Howard ordered it on accident at a restaurant and did not enjoy it. I don't think he even tasted it! |
 |
| I think she is giving out a chunk of sugarcane. |
 |
| Lots of kids ride their bikes to school. In fact, bikes are the most common form of transportation. |
 |
| More students in attendance here. |
 |
| This is the school where we showed a hand count of who would support new water. Almost everyone raised their hand, some even raised both hands! The woman told us that they have to travel a bit to get to the borehole and then wait in line for 2 1/2 hours. An all day process! |
 |
| Close up of the bikes. |

| Left to right: Martin (district health inspector) head teacher, woman teacher, district education officer and E Howard. |

| Big sister pulling her little sister on a gerry can sled! |
 |
| We are now at the catholic school and church. |
 |
| They need a borehole for the whole village nearby. |
 |
| We walked down to their water supply. |
 |
| Just the runoff from the hills. Does not look especially clean! |
