Drinking water of rotten toad with worms

January 03, 191994  (Monday) A first day of work.

Mr. Quintana noticed that the water supplied from the well was not good so he asked Vanderley to see the well.

Inside the well is rotten toad (frog) with worms. We have been drinking and bathing with water from the well.

Lucy and Vanderley busy the whole day to drain out all water from the well.

Paraguay has big rivers and many lakes. But our whole local area has no water treatment. No water supply system. Every house here has their own well. The poor scoop water out from well with buckets while those can afford will install an electric water pump.

After the well emptied, Mr. Quintana put medicine into the well. In a couple of days the well will be fully filled back with water again.

Lunch time we just eat fruit salad and toasted bread. At night I cooked thin noodle with chicken and sardines. We drink 3 cups of tea (each).

Afternoon we played badminton.  This is our regular games which play every couple of days.
