digging the trench for pipe laying
Pang Bala & Yus preparing to join the broken pvc pipesAfter the taps of the main pipes in the village ran dry for a few months we finally decided
to do some repair to the dam and main pipe. It was early in the year around January and early February 2009 when the flood came and washed the dam down that the taps ran dry. When I went back we mobilised the able bodies of the village to do the repair. (Having lived in town
most part of my life - can't stand dry taps - and remembering the good old days in the village
when we had no pipe water but had bathing place in the river (aken) and the bamboo-water carrier (tabang). We had a very good time working together and rekindling the the gotong-royong spirit.
