Echo echo echo echo

News in from E5 and E6...in an epic final push E5 and E6 worked together as one big team to bring water 2km down from the top of the hill to fill two tanks in the village. The water tanks are full and what better excuse is there for a big water fight with the villagers!! (Unfortunately no pics as no access to them from field base).

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony for the water feed system and then the start of the trip to Kerala.

Meanwhile Charlie 2 have been busy planting in the mammouth holes they have been digging over the past two weeks and have a handing over ceremony tomorrow, C3 have already officially opened their rainwater harvesting tanks and I believe there were a few tears shed by PMs, venturers and locals...C4 are also getting in on the action, they will also have an opening ceremony for their posh loos tomorrow. Then its packing up, shipping out and waving off the many friends made on project sites.

Once we arrive in Kerala on Sunday each group will be posting a blog about their whole project phase so watch out for that!

    Hello Emily,fantastic news that the project is now finished.Hope you all(echo5&6)have a great time at the opening ceremony tomorrow.
    Pity there are no photos of your water fight,after that at least some of you would have been clean!!perhaps next time there is a water fight you could all take some soap with you.It was probably more fun than a foam party!
    We are all fine here and looking forward to seeing the news about the next phase of your trip.Well done to you all on your hard work--it must be such a help to the communities,we think you will miss working with them and have made some new friends.
    Take care Ems,lots of love from Granny and Grandad.XXXXXXX

  8. Hello Alice and Laura, glad to hear you are both back safe and sound and had such a great time. Sorry to miss your 'phone call Alice - we're so predictable aren't we - it was a 0-0 game at Swindon and Lewie got injured!! Anyway, I hope you have a brilliant trek ( so very you two!!) and maybe hear from you next week. We're in a box for the Colchester game, (but I will be able to speak to you). Love you lots and lots, Mum/Tassie, Dad/David, Tom and Harry x x x x x x
