Let there be light!

October 2nd, 2012: Thabita OVC Center finally has electricity!

I thought it would take about 6 months, instead it took over 20...but its here!

Digging the looong line for the electricity wires. It is the 2nd time in Namibia that my vision got fuzzy and I thought I was going to pass out due to heat exhaustion. Also I got a big, big blister so I had to sit out under that tree in the right corner 

About half of the distance we had to cover to dig for the wires
but...after months and months of waiting we finally got our electric box in our sewing room!!!
