As you can see by the photos, construction is being done on the elevated water tank. They are pouring the bases for the pillars and forming up the pillars.
We also see in Pastor Joel’s letter below that there are still some costs in completing the irrigation system for the garden. Included in the prices is the cost of sprinklers. Sprinklers are the common way of irrigating there, but they add another $400 to the total cost for the completed system.
On Monday, Joel is going into Kisii
town to do some asking about a drip irrigation option. A drip system would use
less water and I believe it would be less expensive to set up, but there are
additional factors that may make sprinklers a good way to begin.
I expect by next week the elevated
tank will be in place. The children have a month holiday from school in April,
so it will work out good that the garden can begin at this time. Please
continue to pray that the rest of the infrastructure can be completed.
As for me, of course I am not in
Kenya. It is at times like this that I know it would be good, but God has not
opened that possibility for me at this time. However, I plan on conducting my
own experiment with hydroponics this summer in our garden in Wisconsin. I will see how it goes
to grow kale by this system.
You know I am dedicated to this task, since kale is probably the last thing that I would grow. But it is a staple green at the orphanage, so it would be the most helpful to use this as the experiment. I think our son Levi is also planning on doing this at this place. Joel's letter:
