Project Complete!

Yes, it's official; the water tower projects are complete! Sarah-Kate (my site-mate) and I went today and did some final wrap up things and photo shoot. The water towers work and both villages now have running water. I am proud of the work we have done and happy to see how excited to the men and women were to finally have access to water!

Here are some photos:

This is the tower for the village of Ikroma. It's tall and yellow :)

Sarah-Kate and the men/ children of Ikroma, excited about the running water in the foreground!

The women and kiddos, excited! Notice the crouching woman in the back right corner, there were 4-5 of them hiding in the background the entire time, not to mention the 20+ who were hiding behind me and the camera! 

Myself, Lahcen and Sarah-Kate in front of the bright yellow water tower.

These are the men of the village of Iganouin, standing in front of their water tower. It's HUGE!

Have you ever tried to climb a latter in a long skirt, in a conservative Muslim society? I can assure you, it is hard but Lahcen (my counterpart) really wanted a picture of us on top of the water tower.

The picture Lahcen wanted. Lahcen, myself and the local leader of the association that funded the project.

Proof that the water works!!!!
