I am SOOOO thankful for Luke & Leonard! \u00a0 They know what to do when the hydro power turbine, which gives electricity and also therefore pumps water for the hospital and mission, isn’t working properly. \u00a0It is a huge job to work on the turbine, and here are a few photos showing them in process. \u00a0I am actually on line thanks to a back-up generator, which is running especially to provide electricity and water for the hospital (surgeries, sterilizing instruments and IV’s, laundry, etc.)<\/p>\n

\"Canal<\/a>

Canal leading into the turbine housing<\/p><\/div>\n

The canoe across the mouth of the intake on the building is there so that the sentry has easy access to clear away debris from the gate across the opening into the turbine.<\/p>\n

\"Cyrille<\/a>

Cyrille attaching a winch chain to lower this axle back down<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Luke<\/a>

Luke and others preparing to lift the damaged propeller, they are in the deep chamber where the water flows<\/p><\/div>\n

\"You<\/a>

You need strong guys to man the top of the hoist\/winch<\/p><\/div>\n

We filled tubs with water and got out flashlights, candles, and our small single propane burner, to be ready for the dark hours of no power. \u00a0One nice thing about it being totally dark, the stars really pop out at you! \u00a0 We already have a beautiful view at night, but without our little bit of light interference, it is amazing!<\/p>\n

Please pray that all goes well with the repair, that no one will get hurt, and that the power will be back on soon!<\/p>\n
