Holes

Several other projects at Ciyanjano included holes for a pit latrine and for trees which will line the driveway. Chiseling away at the earth for the future campers' bathroom are Owen Thompson, AZ's
current intern, and Marty Bandvik. The team got news that morning that the pit they had dug the day before needed to be four feet longer and several feet deeper. Working in shifts, the men made quite a bit of progress on the comfort station. And, as you can see the soil in Africa is quite red!

While Tracy was sharing from Colossians, a few of the team members traveled into town, about 20 miles to purchase trees for the holes that were dug the previous day. Lining the newly realigned driveway will be jacarandas as well as several others. The community's children gathered around to watch
and soon began lining the newly-planted trees with decorative stones. Their reward~yummy ring pops!
