Back from Rom

Justin had an interesting 5 day trip to Rom and Malakal recently. He went to help Dau install a water system for a clinic there, which they have been planning for many months. But they only had two and a half days to complete the work! The first water emerged from the sand filter and trickled into the final tank, even as our taxi was revving its engine wanting to leave! Here’s a selection of pictures:

Explaining what we were going to do...


... taking in the surroundings...





... washing sand and gravel.





Digging trenches and laying pipes...

... showing them how to pump...

... finaly it is full – and the overflow works!

The finished system



Back in Malakal for two nights, Dau took Justin to church...



... to see the town...


... and meet his Mum at last
