Heavy Rains and Dam Building

A quick update from Bret, regarding the dam project.  There have been heavy rains, which can cause havoc on the dirt roads getting in to the Koins Village area.  However, with the building of the dam in the riverbed, the rains have created new difficulty.

This place is GREEN, with a capital "G".  Rains continue to fall, especially last night!  For two hours we had thunder cracking overhead and buckets being poured down upon us.  In all my rainstorms I've never seen (or heard) anything as massive as this.

Upon inspection of the dam (which is at a critical point) we discovered that the water had brought our worst fear to reality.  We lost one of the walls, which will need complete reconstruction.  We remain determined to complete the task and have two days to do it, so we're back at it with a crew of help. Wish us luck!

The goat house is being built, schedule to be finished today.  The goats won't make it to the grand opening, due to the conditions of the roads.  But the goat house is looking good.

The dairy goats are part of the SRA project, and have the potential to change the nutritional landscape of the Koins Village area.  It will be exciting to see this get off the ground.

Here is hoping the rain will stop for a few days, allowing the projects to be finished.

Asante sana,
