Water

 
Here in Honiara, we have to be a little bit cautious with our water usage.  In Marulaon Village, we are ultra careful because all of our water comes from the rain.  It hasn't rained at SITAG in over a week.
 
 
We do have town water to use for washing, but we still take "military" showers and conserve water as much as possible.


This is one of the big tanks by the corner of our current SITAG house.  It collects town water and rain water and has a gauge to carefully monitor the amount of water in the tank.

 
SITAG is full right now with a workshop going on for the national translators and every house being occupied.  We're so thankful that the tanks are full right now!

We decided to grab some dinner while running errands last night. When we parked, we saw that the restaurant had its sprinklers on. The ones that were working correctly were WAY too big for the strip they were watering and were spraying water all over the asphalt. Then there was the broken one, which was simply gurgling huge amounts of water straight into the parking lot. They were on the entire time we were in the restaurant, too. Made me sick to see so much water wasted! Although I know it's out of necessity, I really appreciate seeing this good stewardship of water that happens at SITAG.

Love,
