Construction work speeding

Although pre-Monsoon had alarmed us, the last two sunny days have brought back our spirits up again. The weather finally acted in our favor and in order to make the most out of it, the villagers have been working hard to complete the construction work. The Power House is almost ready with only the construction of the foundation for the set and its installation remaining. In addition, half of the tremendously long penstock has been installed. According to Mr. Keshab Prasad Ghimire who updated us with the latest progress information and shared with us the enthusisum, eagerness and happiness of the villagers to make the project successful and finally get electricity, "villagers of all ages worked hard all day to connect the pipes and got half of it done." Looks like the weather and in fact, nature itself is indeed in our favor...positive signs like these remind me of the book The Alchemist and the possibility of making dreams turn into reality. Oh, we are so totally going to have all the houses in this village lit with electricity! yay!
