Fax received today from Fares. He tells us the following news:

Five more children are joining the family - their beds are being prepared - four boys and one girl - names and
ages and other details will be updated when we have them. By my counting - this makes a total of 25 - our
family is growing!!

The water pump is still doing okay and needs priming less frequently - last re-primed on 4th June and still
siphoning!

Eddie, Heather and Moiré's trip getting nearer. They leave on the 16th July and will be taking with them much
needed supplies including 2 new UV tubes for the UV water filter (they each last 12 months before they need
renewing).

Bill Harris has now a travelling companion - yours truly - Graham. They will be leaving on August the 10th and
staying till August the 30th.

Fax received from Fares on 29/05/00. He tells us the following news:

Two new children arrive at Bethany on the 26th May , they are: Rheum age 5 and Alli age 7 (more information
has been posted to us)

Lafuta has been seen on the streets of Mwanza and does not want to come back to Bethany or Kuleana! (he
needs our prayers for his safety and change of heart).

Fares reports that the water stopped siphoning from the Lake to the well. However, with the help of John Kitinde
they managed to re-prime the pipe and the water is now flowing once again!
