I saw these boys digging a hole near a new house so that they could connect a water pipe from the house to new mains pipe. As I looked closer I realised they were actually trying to dig through layers of waste, plastic and other things. Clearly, and Daniel confirmed it, this part of the village had been a waste dumping ground over many years, and many of the houses at that end of the village were all built on it. The river which is only 20metres away is, as you can see, still a place to leave things. In the distance you have the mountain range, which feeds the river, but you just wonder what all this is doing to health and pollution. As with all things here, it's a world of contrast and challenge at every turn!!
