No More Durty Water

Protecting Spring 2012

nomoredurtywater — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:11:12 +0000

Up date progress on our latest Protected Spring being installed at the moment in Uganda.

The water hole is quite some distance off the road and serves the local community, a health centre and school. .

The people were very willing to carry the materials from the road where the truck will drop them down to the water hole.

The construction of the Protected Spring has now commenced. This time around a lot more digging is required than at the last one.

More photos will be added as the construction continues. Many thanks to the Bridge of Hope Children’s Ministry for identifying and organising our latest spring.

Durty 45 Bus Returns For 2012

nomoredurtywater — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:19:51 +0000

The Durty 45 Bus had an amazing first year, going down a storm at CamperJam, Beach Buggin’, Amakuru Vdub and Southsea Bandstand.
The engine has been rebuilt, so the Bus is ready for promoting for No More Durty Water in Summer 2012.

As you can see from the photographs, there was a few changes along the way. The stage had to go, as needed another bus to get it there, which is not very environmental. A professional tent was purchased to go over the whole thing, making Durty 45 Bus fully weather proof and safe.

DATES FOR 2012……More to be Confirmed.

6th – 8th July – CamperJam

2nd – 6th August – V Dub Island
12th August – Beach Buggin

Everyone involved with the Durty 45 Bus, works for free, and even pays for the fuel. There is no cost to the festivals, unless they would like to make a donation to No More Durty Water.
