Water and food

It has been said that most Americans never really let themselves get hungry. We actually have never felt what REAL hunger is. We don't have to. But for the people of Nyabikiri, hunger is not a stranger. The last photo shows two team members serving lunch to schoolchildren -- a starchy substance (later topped with a bean broth) provided by the UN and often a child's only meal for the day. The other photos show the task of collecting water from the well for use at home. One morning, I helped a young girl (no older than nine, I'm sure) carry a water jug to her home. It was a long walk, and the water was surprisingly heavy. This water, which also should be boiled before use, is so far removed from our water... running from a no-pump tap, constant, clean, and even sometimes heated!
