AnGuan
Village Water Project Completed on August 27, 2007
|
 |
Village
Name: AnGuan
Homes: 71
Population: 655
AnGuan
village is located in HuaLong County, QingHai Province.
For many decades, the people of this village had to fetch
water from miles away from their homes. One family member
was dedicated to fetch water everyday. During autumn and
winter time, the stream of water used to dry out
and
villagers needed to go even further to fetch water.
|
|
| In
July 2007, our TAF president was invited by AnGuan village
leaders to pay a visit to their village. Dorjee Tsewang felt
the village desperately needed to bring water to their village.
After a thorough inspection, TAF decided to fund the AnGuan
Water Project. |
 |
|
 |
On
August 1, 2007, the AnGuan Village leaders and TAF hired staff
members to locate the water source which was two miles away
from the village. The whole village population was so thankful
and excited to participate in the project. |
|
| On
August 10, 2007. TAF and the village leaders purchased water
pipes, cement and other necessities for the project and stored
them in the home of one of the village leaders. |
 |
|
 |
All
the villagers came out and enthusiastically dug the trench.
After a week's hard work, they completed digging the trench
from the water source to the village. |
|
| August
15, 2007, many village men carried plastic water pipe on the
shoulder into the mountain. They were all very enthusiastic
and energetic to get their water project completed before
Dorjee Tsewang's return to the USA |
 |
|
 |
The
AnGuan Village people dug the trench to 6 feet deep. They
carefully connected water pipe to each other and buried in
the trench. August 20, 2007, they successfully put all the
water pipes in place. |
|
| Our
modern transportation could not transport building materials
into the mountain because there is no road at all. Therefore,
the only option is to utilize animals like donkeys, horses
and mules to carry all the materials. |
 |
|
|
|
The
most challenge part is to complete digging trench in the village,
between the clay houses. Because the trench is six feet deep,
so there is risk of either animal or kids may fall in the
trench, so they villagers had to dig the trench on one hand
and to bury pipes on the other hand. Within two days, again
the villagers happily accomplished task of putting pipes to
all clay houses. |
|
|
On
August 27, 2007, The TAF team and the AnGuan village successfully
completed their water project. TAF president, Dorjee Tsewang
is honored to open the very first faucet, and to be the
first one to taste the pure mountain spring water in the
AnGuan village.
