40 Day Water Walk

In sub-Saharan Africa alone, 40 billion hours of labor are wasted each year carrying water over long distances.

When I think about how much time is spent gathering water I'm always amazed. Just carrying around the ladies, has showed me how much more time it takes me to go places and do things. I try to think about the best way to get things and make as few trips to different places as I can. I find myself thinking, do I really need to go to the bathroom yet. And I hate forgetting things upstairs when I've gotten downstairs and vice versa. Today after church, a few of us went to Five Guys for lunch. Later I visited my grandmother in the nursing home. She was only recently admitted into a nursing home after fracturing her pelvic bone from a fall. I got an opportunity there to share with some nurses why I was carrying around the ladies. One of the male nurses, Shai, was from Nigeria and knew all too well of the water situation in Africa. He gave me $2. So awesome!
