Just in from Mr. Hung: Hi My Friends Mr&Mrs Scott Yen. Today,we finished the project for Leper Village:A Well and one water tank. The New Well is 129 m in dept and the tank can take 5000 l water.It was hung by a tower in 8m height from the ground. This is the highest tank from anywhere in Leper Village. There was difference between Chicken V. and Leper Village: At Chicken V.The minorities can take the clean water right a well,so the tank must to build on the ground and there are many spouts for them. At Leper V.,the water is flown to every houses,peoples can`t take water from the tank;This`s the reason that I must to change our plant: In the first, we will build a tank on the ground,and the second pump can push water to the hospital,the kindegarten,the kitchen...But after drill the well,I se we need to take the water 8 m on the height,after that,the water can flow every where.Building a ciment tank on the ground is cheaper than the zinc tank and put it on the tower but we must to need one pump. I make a zinc tank and hang it higher,so that we didn`t need a second pump.Both of them are the same price.There is a diferent master: the rocks to build a tank is easy to buy,but we need a big zinc tank,so I must to buy it in Saigon city,the irons also buy from there,because Di Linh district is small area.After that I calculate how is the height of the tower for the tank..Every things take a long time for our project!I`m slow. Give me a pardon,My friends.<After the well is drilled,the water is pumped to the ground for every body,but now the tank is perfected;Making the water pipe system,that is an easy job,Is made by the nuns in Leper V.> The realistic in V.N. there are many complex master that you can`t see in your country.If you don`t have the submissive you can`t do it. In the end,The New well and the clean water are the best in Di Linh District,the water is enough for their life in the dry season,who live in Leper Village right now. As you saw,the project is beautiful. Thanks for The Care To Help Project help us made a good job. I `m sending to you 14 pictures first now. Your Friend. Nguyen Viet Hung
