A few days ago we received news that the solar pump of the irrigation system stopped working. We first suspected the well to be dry (May is the driest month in the area) but our friend Salihou who went to Mambourke to investigate the problem quickly found the reason: a piece of old rope was sucked in by the pump and blocked the rotor. After cleaning the pump started to work again. Thank you Salihou for the great job!
Dear sponsors of our charity projects, the photo books have been printed and should arrive in a few days! I will distribute them in the next weeks. Thanks so much for your support!
The latest news from Pam Young/Mambourke:
“I am happy to report that although the water level as gone down a little (partly due to dry season as well) everything is functioning well.The solar pump is on for 1 hour in the morning and one hour in late afternoon..End of April and May will be the toughest months as its the hottest time in Mali before the rainy season begins in june/July…I will let you know how things are then..Hope you’re well..everyone has been talking of your wonderful programme.Please let Janos know as well that we’re really so grateful for the efforts as I said before..God BlessPam”
