Water! Water! Water!


Visitors from USA join Yamba Abaana UG. for H2O humt
Sr. Stella and Dr. Bruce a H2O hunt.
Water has become so crucial for Rubanda Solidarity School and the entire community of Rubanda. Concerned people have raised alarms for years but no lasting solution was ever found. The community has decided to go for a water hunting mission. This was prompted by their visit to the school and found kids crying out for drinking water. They also are aware of the unresolved burden to mothers and children who spend hours and hours traveling in search for possible water catchments. The solution seems far away off. But some hope came in this last February with the visit of our friends from the USA. With them we the community decided to launch a water hunting mission. Above, left is the visiting team's head Dr. Bruce Murray chating with Sr. Stellamaris Kysiimire on figuring out how long the hunting mission would take as the school bursar Mr. Kabananura looks on. To the top right,are some of the community members of Yamba Abaana Uganda leading the hunt.

The result of the hunting mission was one spotted area in the valley below the school as described by the photo below with water catchment potentials. In is below, Fr. Dominic and Dr. Bruce are standing on top of the hill pointing to that last possible place that once confirmed could provide water relief to the school and the community. The distance between the school on top of the hill to the valley on the possible well site is about seven hundred miters. That is quite a long distance for pumped water project in a community that electric power is unimaginable. However, it seems to be the only hope as the rain harvested water is never enough nor able to run through a school term. Its our hope that we will find water source, get funds and technical personnel to realize our hunting mission dream. Until then we shall not give up the hunt.
