Here are some pictures of our drilling a deep water well for my village. Alfred Maele and his team are supervising this project while I'm in school in Lilongwe and I come up on weekends to help.
1. Getting ready to drill. As you can see, it's not possible to dig a deep water well manually.
2. Adding more lengths of pipe as the drill goes deeper
3. Starting to reach the aquifier
4. Here comes the water!
5. A gusher! It kind of looked like striking oil, but something even more valuable.
