NOT EVERY EFFORT IS SUCCESSFUL
Jun 6th, 2008 by CaptainB
Today Peggy and our orphanage personnel went to the village near our farm ( paddy field), to help the neighboring farmer by searching another artesian water like what we are having. Since yesterday the team has been trying to find a suitable place to drill for it. The manual drilling machine was purchased with the help of FCAP of Singapore( Fellowship of Christian Airline personnel which consist of Singapore Airline’s and Silk Air’s employees). The team had drilled at two location so far and up to the depth of 50 meter and still not finding a water source. We were thinking that it will be similar like when we drilled for our own farm. We strike water only at 29 meters in depth. At this neighbor farmer’s location , not only the soil is much harder but also deeper but still no water being found . Both were 50 meters and 52 meters deep and still no water , even the soil wasn’t wet enough as if some water is near by. The second drilling was stopped because the head of the drilling machine was broken. We will try to drill for water at other farmer’s location after we can get the replacement of the drilling machine’s head and hoping that we can be successful on finding another artesian water for others.
Today also our other farm was having another activity of harvesting some of the left over rice/paddy which we haven’t cut them yet. Not as much as before but at least we managed to get about 700 kg of rice. Praise The Lord.
There are good days and some time we are not successful even so life is so beautiful , always !!!
I will up date with the appropriate pictures after I got them.
