A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS

One of my jobs was to supply the village with water The well was a long walk away And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it

worked first time It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers,

who had never had running water before And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity
