Water

Before its possible to build, we need water.
After talking to the neighbors, we realized that we have to wait for the community water to reach us, even if it's available a couple of hundred meters from the land — so we need a well! After our investigations we now know that there is quite a lot of water not so deep down under our land, so we now need someone that can help us to dig a well.
Five happy diggers start the next day in the bright sunshine, they will dig down to the stone (about 7-8 meters) until we get enough water in the well. After finishing some days later there was now 3-4 m3 of water in the well.

Digging a well should be done during the hot dry season, waiting until the wet rainy season is not a good decision. We had planned for October but changed us to April instead luckily.
