Bob's follow-up update

This is a follow up to Bob's earlier story:

I asked around about the possibility of getting a small water testing kit to check for bacterial levels in the water well I mentioned. From the response I got there isn't one on the continent. Plan B was to get in to see the World Vision office in Lukasi and ask for their input or assistance. Much to my surprise Desi and I got right into see the head of WV and he gave me two of his staff to go directly to the site. The good news is that the residents already understood not to use that well for drinking. I also learned that there was a serious Cholera out break there and an NGO had given everyone chlorine to treat their wells. So all's well that ends well.

Bye for now
Bob
