Update 9 - TWP

Dear Donors,

I chose to run an update only when there was substantial progress in the project.

We've completed digging of one borewell at one of HOH's site which is located around 2 km away from the shelter. This digging  was completed around the last week of August & were waiting for updates from HOH management who wished to view the site once the digging was done and recheck with their experts on the job completed. They also were looking at getting clearance from KEB.  
Since we did not wish to delay, I've instructed my contacts to apply for necessary clearance from the Electricity department and we should be getting the connection in the next 10-14 days.

I'm attaching some photos/videos of a water diviner testing for water and other photos of one of the sites where we've already completed the borewell digging after his recommendation.





Regards,

Reji Koshy

Dear Supporters,

Due to the consecutive long weekends and also due to non-availability of parties from both sides, the commencement of work had to be delayed.

The lawyer reverted on 14th August and currently he's awaiting a set documents from New Ark Mission before he gives his legal clearance.

I've been told by T. Raja  that a few documents have been pending at government agencies since the past 6 months and it may take a longer period of time especially with the current delays due to elections etc.
I will discuss with him and make an informed decision on how to proceed.

*Interim we've identified another property closer to HOH and will evaluate borewell options there as well.

The contractor has visited the 1st site twice to gauge prospective execution. One of the subsequent visits had to be postponed because of the rains and non-accessibility by two wheeler.  

A geologist has been engaged for this project and he would be making a site visit the next week. The project should start immediately after that.

Thank you all for your continued support!
