I'll take that as, "I know nothing, father. Please tell me about pumps." Okay, I will. There's a new invention that harnesses the merry-go-round awesomeness of kids in African villages. While they spin, water gets pumped out of the ground. It's then stored in huge towers. How cool is that?

The towers are tall and can be seen from far away. So on two sides of the towers they have ads to help the villagers make money. And on the other two there are health messages. That's kinda neat.

Well, Dad, despite your using words like "neat," I'm pumped. Where can I find out more?

Funny you should ask, Izz. Below is an ocean of information about water in Africa and some links if you or your friends want to help.
