Color wheels and wells

Tuesday I spent the morning training Michael, the security guard and handy man, how to maintain the water system and test the chlorine. Unfortunately, we found that the directions were a little convoluted and we weren’t able to figure out how much chlorine we should add to the water. We’ll have to go back to the states, rewrite the chlorine section of the maintenance guide. We are also bringing back some of the chlorine we bought for the clinic (we bought 45 kilos worth!) so that we can figure out how much we should bring. In the process of training Michael, I had to figure out the color wheel for testing the chlorine on the fly. When determining what data to collect, I realized that we really need to redo the datasheet that they will record the data on as well. I made a handwritten one which will have to do until we can post another maintenance manual. In the afternoon we met with the downtown Luanda community to discuss the drilling of another well for them. About 12 people showed up and though very quiet, I think they were very interested in having a well in their area.
