Dep explains to them that the water is so murky because the water is still mixed with that of the pond.
Connections
Salva chapter 13
He says that everything that was water, food, etc, was distributed to the entire group equally, I connected it to chapter 11 since as the uncle was gone, they did not distribute food or water with Salva, for being a child.
Nya chapter 13
When it says that the boss is encouraging the workers to keep going, I connect him when uncle de salva was encouraging him to carry on in the desert.
Inferences
Salva chapter 13
Salva says that he is going to take everyone safely to Kenya and organizes the group so, I infer that he is the leader of the group.
Nya chapter 14
Everyone claps and sings for the water that came out of the hole, I infer that they are very happy.
Predictions
Nya chapter 15
I think that when the cement dries they are going to build something on top, something that the town needs nearby such as a pond, more houses, a hospital or even a school.
Salva chapter 15
I think that Salva's lifestyle will change a lot in a good way, with his new family and new things, little by little she will adapt to the change but she will be very happy.
