Cistern cleanup continues...

Saturday 7 April 2012

The bucket brigade
Cistern cleanup continues.  Some bricks are recovered, but may not be useable.  A trench is dug around the work site to allow future rain water to escape.  After a rain, the trench looks like a river.  As of now, Jacques’s plan is to have new, more substantial bricks made while he is at the General Conference and itinerating.  Other modifications to the project are being considered, such as building a partition wall in the middle of the cistern.  When he returns in late June, the cistern building will start again.  All the funds we brought over for the project are expended.  We don’t know how the recovery will be financed.


A few of the bricks are salvageable
