8 hour 55 mile 4-wheeler ride

We went out yesterday on what was supposed to be a quick visit to Olesere a village 16 miles away. We ended up taking one of the guys there to show us 2 schools several miles beyond Olesere. We were able to see the schools and the water sources for each one. the first picture below is one of 2 buildings that close to 100 children go to school. Kindergarten and 1st grade. each building was about 15x25. The nearest water source was 3/4 of a mile away. The other pictures are of a school that schools 470 kids 1st -8th grade and the nearest water source was about a mile and a half away. We had a wonderful trip despite the fact we missed lunch. Lunch seems like a small thing in comparison to carrying water to survive from a mile away. It was great to get out and meet other folks and see the needs that are out there.Mbiten school 23 miles from our houseOne water source at Mbiten schoolEdonia Erinka school 28 miles from our house
