Trip to Mumbi

04 Aug 2008 06:58 am

Sunday we travelled to Mumbi Village from Petauke. We have maintained a very active tree nursery there for the past three years. This is Felix our Environment Coordinators home village. It is located south of Petauke toward the Mozambique border on fairly good feeder road.
There are 3500 people living in and around Mumbi and they rely on three wells, one a borehole and two hand dug wells. One of these was a gift from Harbourside Rotary in Victoria and the other has been deepened and maintained by ourselves. The pump had broken down on the bore hole so the two hand dug wells were getting a work out, sometimes even coming up dry at peak times of the day.
After doing our business and visiting with Felix and his wife Charity we loaded the truck with will rotted manure from his Kraal and returned to Petauke. This will be much needed in our nursery planned for the compound for the soil is very sandy. We never even had a flat tire.
