woman the well SA trying to close. working on reopening one that is good. hopefully soon.
pictures of water at the camp. the first is a woman drawing water by the bucket. SA trying to discourage since water is not good...but they use it for washing clothes. other pics are water supplied daily by trucks. it is absolutely amazing to me how clean everyone is. they wash themselves daily under the most primitive of conditions. women are scrubbing clothes in a pan of water and draping them here and there to dry. everyone especially children as you will see later on when i post pictures of school children try so hard to be neat and clean. I am currently washing my things out in the bathroom sink and really appreciate the monumental effort they are making.

these large bladders are filled by truck daily, contain thousands of liters. long lines form as they bring buckets for the water.
