Two weeks are over. They were amazing. The irrigation / moringa team started out with plans to install a simple sprinkling system. This turned into a huge irrigation system that covers about an acre. We installed a submersible pump and pressure tank, over 2000 feet of pipe, 200 feet of electrical lines, 23 sprinkler heads, 11 gate valves, 4 hose bibs, and a misting system for our shade house. The shade house was built the second week, complete with a large work table. We have completed about 300 planting bags and have a capacity of 2000. The last 1700 will be completed next week. Each bag will have a moringa seedling that will be ready for planting at the beginning of rainy season (October).
We also almost finished the pump house. The concrete footer and block walls are done. The roof and door will be done Monday. The well had a dangerous opening with children always around. We covered the top with concrete and a safe cover will be installed on Monday.
We ordered the wood for the clinic today. Next week the painting, murals, shelving and furniture will be built. The clinic will be partially stocked and ready for operation.
Our entire team of 19, including Dr T + Tricia, worked together amazingly well and everyone's strengths were put to good use.
