Another full day planned

We are up early this morning as we have a full day's agenda - all outside of Accra.

We are going to head to Kibi ("Cheebee" or as Josh said last night is also pronounced "Chebe").  Kibi is where we installed a LWW system last year (see 2015 posts about Kibi & the installation).  We are looking forward to this follow up visit to see how the school is using the system, what challenges they are experiences, etc.

We have a little bit of insight around the changing of the plumbing from one raw water source to another a few months ago and some insight that the school is primarily using 20L/5G water bottle dispensers around the campus to distribute the water - we'll see.

After Kibi, we are planning to head to Krobo Girls School.  We have always thought Krobo would be a great place location for a LWW system, but the school is on the side of a mountain and has several bore holes and rain water collection - however, the bore holes do not perform very well and the rain water collection solution has not been sufficient.  Hopefully, we will see something different this visit.  In the 2014 blog, I posted about Krobo - but the short version is Krobo has 1,500 students that live on the campus (all girls, hence the name).   School has a long history in Ghana and is another institution founded by missionaries "way back in the day".
