The man pumping water is a Branch President and represents a very typical farming family and their water source. This particular area has contaminated water so part of our project will be to address this issue.
Once rice is harvested it needs to be dried before milling. Often times they use the road to dry their rice and farmers suffer a loss in their crop yield as you can imagine, but they need a flat hard surface, which if in poverty can be hard to come by. The other favorite surface to use is a basketball court. Basketball is huge over here!

Makes you feel VERY, VERY blessed doesn't it?! Even staying in a one bedroom hotel room with 6 of us sounds luxurious in comparison. Counting Blessings....
Another world, we have so much thanks for the reminder, can't wait till Matt gets back, it will be fun especially on Sunday with the Buhrleys and they will get to hear all about Matts trip too.
