I cant believe it 4 years ago already. To me it feel a lot longer. One think is sure, the work will never stop. Maintenence and maintenance every day. So many things are breaking down. Some days i just say, what more can happen? The pumps of 3 boreholes had to be replaced this year. We also did the testing of the water again to see if it is safe for the animals and humans. We did test it twice. First by the tanks and again straight from the borehole. I had a concern about the water because of all the rocks. After all the tests i decided to put in big filters by the tanks. The ones in the village and also up by the camps. This whole exercice cost us over R75 000.00. Everything is just so expensive. I can almost say all the vehicles have new batteries, it is the one after the other that needed replacing. Services of vehicles, brush cutters and chainsaws breaking down. Some machines can only last that long, concidering that we used it almost daily. The TLB broke down, the engine blew a gasket, vehicles needed new tyres and so the list just go on and on. Our next urgent project is the perimiter fence. This will be a story for another day. Thank you to all our loyal supporters. You make live easier.
