Good that despot Neophytos remembered this "no one has lived without water". Things must be very difficult in Bomet. I hope the drilling produces a lot of water and doesn't dry up quickly.

Good thing they did a hydrogeological study before, not just randomly digging. In Kenya it is clear that water means life, as Bishop Neofitos said. I hope that good water comes out and a lot at Bomett, that it lasts for many years for the whole community there.

Yes, the drought is hitting hard in Bomet, we know that from past reports. I too hope that the well will produce stable water, because the community needs it every day. Neophytos did well to point it out so simply.

Well said, Ion, the hydrogeological study is the smart step, otherwise you risk being left with a dry hole. At Bomett, water really changes everything, I also saw in the missions in Africa how quickly the world gathers around a well. I hope clean water comes out and they get to school and church without carrying buckets anymore.
