Boreholes and Water

In Botswana one of the most important Setswana words is Pula, meaning:

Pula: the currency of Botswana

Pula: Blessings 

Pula: Rain

Botswana is a dry, landlocked country and any precipitation which is as valuable as money and is a blessed event. 

It rains in Botswana

Thunderclouds

With sunshine

 Let it rain

 Pula

Blessings

More rain...
