How about some good news?

Let me serve up a big serving. 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
