Maji (water)

Since we're deep into the dry season here in Kenya, the well at the children's home has run dry.  These days, my routine consists of driving about 3 miles to the small stream nearby to fill containers with clean-looking water for the use of the 17 children, 2 workers, and the 10 or so construction crew who live on site.  Imagine enough water to cook and clean, take baths, and mix cement.  It adds to around 1,000 liters every day.  Here is a picture of our construction foreman and two helpers as we load water.
