Boy in a barrel and demonstrating body parts

Today was not dissimilar to yesterday with training still going on and construction of the water harvesting system. Again a group went visiting different micro-finance projects in the diocese. These seemed to be doing well.

This is the widow of the house we are attaching rainwater harvesting 
she is feeding her cow which is literally boarded into its stall, so it will not be stolen.
Before her house was built by the team from Blakeney she lived in a little room next to her cow with her goats and rabbits, and three children. She had to cook in the same room on three large stones and use her neighbours toilet.,  
Progress was fairly slow today. We encountered a little bit of a problem in that we had to drill a hole in the side of the barrel at the bottom for the tap which needed a washer and nut putting on inside the barrel. However the hole in the top of the tank was smaller than previous and despite many ingenious attempts to put the nut on all failed finally a small boy from the family was lowered into the tank and was able to screw it on, and came out sweating but happy. He was greeted with loud applause and a bottle of water.
Meanwhile the training for the wives was hygiene demonstration of body parts and female health.
