  Dear Deacon Lloyd,
   
 

Greetings from Uganda. I am presenting to you a brief report on the two wells. There is some technical details such as the static level and the grid that I do not know.

   
  REPORT
 

Water being the need of the people in Malaba where I was working as their priest until the June 2006 when I was transferred. As a priest in Malaba I was never resident. I was commuting every day from the nearby parish because there was no parihs house.Two places were identified that were badly in need of clean and safe water. The first place was in Malaba, Akolodongo Village where eventually the primary school and parish house came to be erected in 2005. With the availability of clean and safe water in the village, it is interesting to not that many families have come to settle around the well.
   
 
The parish community, the school children and the surrounding community have access to the borehole serving approximately 1,500 people and sometimes the people struggle for the water.
   
 
The borehole many times is over strained because of the many people using it. The help that you sent us was indeed very timely. It enabled us to service the well. I have received a report from the priest: Fr.James Achara who is working there in Malaba that the borehole produces enough and clean water and it might serve the community for sometime.The bore hole is located in Malaba Town Council in Akolodongo village near the border between Uganda and Kenya on the western side of the country.
   
 
I am very grateful to the parish priest who is now a resident in the place for taking keen interest to supervise the well so that its used properly for the service of the entire community.
   
 
The second well on the other hand is located in one of the outstations of St. Jude Catholic Church, Malaba in a place called Kadomoche village, Mella Sub-County, Tororo District.
   
 
The well has been serving a population of approximately ,1000 people. The pipes had rusted and the borehole itself was drying up. But with the help you sent us, we have been able to make the well deeper to access the water table. The pipes have been cleaned up also and installed. The
priest on the ground, a few day ago, called to inform me that the work was finalized.
   
 

I wish you well and God's abundant blessings.

Fr. Thomas Aquinas
