Hey Kris, so here is what we have:
-----
Rain Catchment - The catchment implementation is going well. Some small field fits have been implemented and only one system is being implemented due to the girls dorm not being completed and the great news that the orphanage will be on the electrical grid very soon! The concrete pad has been poured and the day was spent in Limbe purchasing materials for the catchment and electrical portions. Gutters will be hung tomorrow as well as a trip to Douala to purchase a tank and other miscellaneous materials.
-----
Electrical Assessment - The electrical system is a work in progress. Ryan has created several options for moving forward and the team is discussing each option to decide on the best choice.
-----
Site Drainage - Kirk has been making excellent progress and has almost completed the primary drainage ditch. We were fortunate enough to receive one heavy rainfall that showed us where the major flow areas were.
-----
Health Assessment - Patsy has almost completed her observations in the orphanage and has begun to branch out into the surrounding community. She is making excellent progress!
-----
Everyone at the orphanage sends their love and have been very accommodating and appreciative of our help and commitment. I must end now as our Rotary meeting begins shortly. Thanks!
-----
Sean
