A taste of Hurkurhadi life



Welcome to Reservoir Digs

A fleeting visit from Project Manager Stirling Grey has left us here at field base green with envy of the stories and photos that are coming out of Huskurhadi.  This group has got it sussed.  Waking early they head to their work site, a mere 2km walk away, to get most of their digging done before the heat of the day sets in.   So focussed are they on the digging that they were totally unable to tell me just how much they had dug, I shall keep you posted.

Swim time - what a way to wash

After lunch the main focus is on camp building, ensuring that Reservoir Dig lives up to its 5 star rating.  A fully equipped gym, long drop and shower with view and an oven are just some of the features that sets this camp apart.  

But it's not all work, these guys know how to have fun, they certainly sound brilliant on the daily comms check, full of stories of swimming, yoga, themed parties and great food.  We can't wait to visit next week and we promise to bring you more photos and stories then. 

The human face of our work here - the elephant proof fence will protect this little girl's family land, increase their income levels and boost their living standards.
