Jack and Jill...

... walked down the (slippery, muddy) hill to fetch a tank of water.  In my friend's community, the group of houses that she lives with collects water from this spring for use at home.  There is another spring farther down the hill where they go to bathe and wash clothes, but all of the water for cooking, drinking, washing dishes, etc. comes up the hill to their homes in plastic jugs, normally in the hands (or on the heads!) of children.

Showing off our haul!

But I'm just a poser... I filled it up, but I didn't carry our tank of water back to the house.  That's what the boys are for, right?!
