Pit Latrine in progress

I'm sure many of you are wondering why there hasn't been any mention of the pit latrine for a while. 

While we were in Uganda we were able to visit the big pits that had already been dug out ready for  building work to start.  The day we visited the pit was the day the heavens opened.

We trudged through the mud to see the pit and here it is in all it's glory.

Unfortunately the rains became even heavier after we left the village.  Pastor James and Robinah had organised the pits to be dug in advance of the rainy season.  This way the ground would be soft enough to dig.  The rains make the ground become clay-like and no one would manage to manually dig the soil. 

What they hadn't expected was for the rains to be so heavy that they would make the pre-dug pits collapse before any work had started on them.  And that's just what happened......


So now we await for the rainy season to stop, where new pits can be dug in a new (hopefully safer) location around the school, and the work can begin.  The money is all ready and waiting in Uganda, so as soon as the pit is relocated, building work can start and the children will get the brand new toilets they so desperately need.  As soon as we have any updates, they will be shared on here!
