They are about a 5 minute walk from my hut. I'll do a blog post about the group and the work we hope to do. They do plan on digging more, and I hope to dig a few soon to be brooding ponds so they don't have to buy fingerlings (baby fish) anymore and can sell them to other farmers as well.<br /><br />The dambos that I've mentioned are the main water source, just dig in the side of a termite hill and you have a stream. Up here in Luapula where it's really rainy, you should have a water source year round.
