Team Inzozi Day 9

Wow it was hot today! Over 90 F . Mark sunburned his neck during our walking trips to sample the wells and other water sources for E.coli.. In this climate we have been consuming lot’s’ of water and sun screen. We set up the solar cooker toady and the rice was perfect, the village women loved it. The solar dehydrator is sitting on the village church roof.,( ask Bruce about that one) so on Thursday we should have dehydrated pineapple and mango . The eco sand toilet/shower room is complete. A shower was soooooo awesome after using a bucket. Bruce designed a solar shower with solar lights for night time use and a am/fm stereo with a big flat screen tv. ( just kidding about the am/fm etc) This commode has the olny lights in the area. On our way home from testing the water sources we stopped at a local saloon for a couple of cokes. This place was like the old west, all dirt streets and adobe looking buildings. As we set enjoying our drinks a mother came in and started breast feeding her baby behind us, ok that is normal around her so we just kept talking. Then it got even more interesting, we noticed a bird nest in the rafters the mother was feed the 2 chicks flying in and out of the open air building. Then as we thought it couldn’t possibly get any more interesting a chicken came in it’s chicks strolling in the front door and out the back. It’s getting late and the babies are starting to cry around our hut. Most nights we hear the women singing to their children. How cool is that? Thanks for reading our blog
