Cathy's friend and professional well-digger,
Melchizedeck Okello, came to help us install the Afrofdif pump on Thursday morning. Melchizedeck has been digging community and private wells all over Kenya for over 15 years.
Peter made the first part of the well pad in no time (he is a professional contractor). Then we installed the pump on Friday.

This is video that Kayla took of us filling the hole with gravel.
