Introducing the merry-go-round water pump
Why are these kids - crowded on a merry-go-round - smiling in front of the beaming bread tower?
They are using a fun alternative to fetching the sometimes polluted water in the stream miles away. By spinning the playground apparatus, water is being pumped up from the water table!
Great ideas like these ought to make us all smile.

Great stuff! It's amazing what man is capable of doing, even with very little.
