November 2010 The Monsoon Hits With A Vengeance

After 2 years of failed monsoons, its wonderful to finally get some good rains. The well has water for the first time since August 2009. The government has released water into the irrigation channel that runs beside our property. Unfortunately the rain caused flooding and loss of life in some areas and the dirt road into our property has been impassable to vehicles for weeks.

Local farmers came to help with sowing our first rice crop.

With the onset of the monsoon, colds and fevers are common because if you get wet in the morning your clothes won't dry in the humid conditions. A local family gave all the boys raincoats to keep them dry when walking to and from school.
