I was with Oversea Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university and I was sent to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N’Djamena Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected But after a few days I soon got used to living there The people were always very friendly and helpful, and I soon began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water The well was a long walk way And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time It wasn’t perfect_there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was also hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience Although it was not well paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity
