Even though it is hard to believe from what we're used to hear and read, Ethiopia, suffering with droughts and lack of water, has incredible richness of underground springs.

Navegadores Society, an organization founded by Piotr Wikarek, among 3 other tasks, has set it's first goal to combine the richness of water with the richness of the sun energy in the Mission of Alemtena. Last draught the Mission was deprived of fresh water for about three months.

A group of 12 people was followed by a film crew: Sebastian Mucha as Sound Recordist and additional Cameraman, Marta Wierzbicka as Production Manager and 3rd camera. The film Directors: Miguel Gaudencio and Maciej Puczyński. Director of Photography was Maciej Puczyński.

The uniqueness of the Navegadores is that the sponsors go for the journey and work themselves on the spot.
