Water and walking

Again...imagine walking to get water for your family. In a bucket. Bare foot. Heat. Flies. Big buses filled with people. Rush past. Covering you with dust. Over and over. And once you find water--16 km away, you put the bucket on your head and go back again. 16 km. And then you find some food for your family. Use a broom to sweep the dirt of debris from in front of your hut. And then you look for wood for a cooking fire for kasava you have to cook. And then you make the trek for more water. 16 km there and back... Imagine... Think of this as you shower today...as you turn on the tap to brush your teeth. As you run the dishwasher or washing machine. and I ask your prayers for all to have access to clean water.
