Here in the States, what you’ll see in this video would have taken days…
The 410 Bridge community of Kandaria had to relocate a brand new 24,000 liter plastic water tank to a location deep within their community. The tank was delivered to the outskirts of the community, but the cement platform that was built for it was 1-2 kilometers away – mostly uphill.
During my last visit, I heard they were going to move the tank by hand and I was eager to see it. The journey started at 8:00 am, and believe it or not, it was completed by 8:15 am. 15 minutes!
It would have taken us days just to get the crane in place… then the flatbed truck…. then clear a path… then drive the truck to the platform… then relocate the crane to take the tank off the truck… etc. etc.
Not in Kandaria…
Took me back man – to Ngaamba year ago June when the second to the last item on our “list” was pushing a huge tank up a hill to it’s pad – wow – what a gift to have been a part!
That is what I call teamwork! I loved hearing them laugh as they worked together to better their community. Can’t wait to return to Kenya one day!
