We had two village trips planned for the start of this week, and while originally the group was going to divide up to visit the sites, we decided it was better to visit them all together so we could determine which had the most potential. On Monday, June 13, we went back to Lunzu, but to a different site—this time to a small private school that used both borehole water and open reservoir water. This was the site suggested by the Village Hygiene Project, and the school administration seemed interested in the proposal. Testing the water, we found that e. coli and other coliforms were certainly present.

On Tuesday, we went to Chikwawa, to the Ndlema village, which involved a long trip in minibus on a mountain highway followed by a bumpy trip up another mountain in a 4WD truck. The village was very isolated, especially in comparison to the school site, meaning that the village does not get much outside attention from water projects. They were certainly happy to share their water collecting process and welcomed the idea of the project. They, too, used a borehole, but it was determined to be contaminated. Additional water was taken from a nearby stream, but the water level was very low and the water was stagnant. We were not able to collect samples initially because we were unsure how to travel with glass bottles on such a bumpy road, but were fairly certain of the contamination.
