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
