The Budde Family Borehole







Today we got to visit the Borehole that we sponsored for a school. I was completely surprised because we walked out of the car and people were holding signs that said ‘we love Budde family’ and ‘Budde family is the way of development in Ethiopia’ along with the reoccurring ‘water is life’ sign. It was so nice to se all of the kids we would be helping. The village gave my family a basket and a wooden statue of a lady carrying a bucket of water. Then they gave us all limes which made our hands smell really good and were fun to try to eat. We got to see the rig digging which was really cool, and every three meters they pulled out a soil sample so we got to see how the soil got darker and moister as the drill went down up to sixty meters or one hundred and eighty feet. The people there were very kind and grateful to the charity and my family and it made me feel good to know that we were helping all those people.
