We take water for granted. When the water main broke in Massachusetts it was a big deal. We could not drink the water from the tap, it was a big inconveince.
The children at the Christian Academy have to walk twenty minutes to a boar hole to fetch water. They usually have to wait in line for twenty minutes. The adults in line push a head of them. They then carry the water on their heads home before they walk to school. The boar hole is only open for a short time every day so the water does not run dry. The children often fetch water from swamps because they were not able to fetch it from the boar hole.
