The website for the company who created this is located here: www.playpumps.org. Basically, they construct a water well and a merry-go-round that children play on pumps the water. Quite an innovative idea! :) Right now it looks like they just work in Africa, but you never know when something like this might expand.

The plans they discussed involved piping water from the market into a concrete tank (yet to be constructed) at the school. This would be an above ground tank and contain a spicket so the water in the tank could be easily accessed by the students. Min has told me he has drawn up a cost estimate for this project and we have someone who is interested in donating toward this as well. Attached is a picture which I cropped and added a tag to so that you can see where the market is in association with the school. It is located in the top left corner.
