Opening Ceremony 2

Had another opening ceremony on Monday - this time it was for a gravity water feed system that we've installed in a tiny community. The project was sponsored by Coca-Cola as they're trying to boost their image as a water-provider as well as a coke-seller.

It was amazing to see the village turning the tap on and having water for the first time. It's really going to change their lives.

As a result of the success of the project, Coca-Cola have agreed to fund us to install 4 more gravity water feed systems over the next year which is great news.

It's been quite exhausting all the travelling and general hobnobbing. Everyone thinks I look like Zara Philips in the photo.

Rory has just mentioned that he hasn't yet managed to recruit someone to do my role on the next expedition. Tempted though I am to stay out here, I'm definitely coming home so if anyone knows anyone who would be interested in doing the role then let me know. The job title is 'communications officer' and I would really really recommend it to anyone who is over 25 and has a bit of communications experience - the main things are PR, lots of writing, internal communications, a bit of design work, and events. You also need a lot of energy and be able to cope with living in pretty basic conditions and having very few days off.
