the company to participate in the awareness of yesterday, held in the village of Swalempu, more than 120 km away from Limete is worthy of note, an experience that would have discouraged any novel in the DRC, including me, convincing to return home like hell! The appointment was scheduled for six in the morning, but for reasons they came to take unwarranted at 8.45, without the responsibility that we have reached to 10 due to rain, forcing us to wait under the canopy of a petrol station.
Knowing the way to the village in quetione I tried to encourage them to postpone the visit because dell'impraticabilità thereof, in any case, the awareness would have taken place since the experts are in place throughout the week.
Although I also had the support of the geologist that the rain could not detect the depth of the water for the construction of the well, the team decided to go anyway. We arrived at the village at 14, tired of waiting and discouraged by the rain. Women, men and children had already returned to their usual activities. Finally at 14:30
began the task of presenting the project, local NGO, the Focsiv, the undersigned, and all that would bring the project to the village.

GREAT DAY!
laughter, shouting, hand clapping, screaming ......... in short, was a joy for me to see how much joy the news has managed to bring in a village miles from my everyday life, without light , no water, no road, no clinic, with the first school built recently and still not working.
felt so happy the sun has decided to participate, wiping away a little bit the way back. Thus, in twelve on a pick-up of five seats and loads of agricultural products to sell at the central market we took the road to Kinshasa, and finally at 20:00 I went home, satisfied with the day and charged with all the expectations that the project represents the LISANGA kinois involved.
