Portable hand washing unit coming together in Nepal. Rather a long vid but this is a slow process…… impacted by lengthy COVID lockdowns followed by major festivals and national holidays.
A foot pump has since been sourced- not easy in Nepal. Next, the plumbing works then out in to the paddock.
Much thanks and admiration for your ingenuity and skills, to Bishnu and carpenter Triratna and other locals engaged in this. Namaste 🙏🏽
The Nepal hand wash unit has morphed somewhat after further design development by Taylor @_springbokk and the PPF technical team led by Grant @g.w.stewart28
Specifications for fabrication have now been sent to the team in Nepal, to be coordinated by Bishnu @bishnu.shrestha1
Exciting days ahead.
Bistari bistari, slowly slowly.
Namaste 🙏🏽
