As I type this email today I can watch the view from across the Kipkaren River – several people. One is a little girl – likely 7 years old who has come to the brown river water with a 20 liter yellow plastic water container. She carefully drops down the river bank being careful not to lose her footing and fallen to the rushing waters. She pushed the container in tot eh water forcing the exchange of air and water. She labors to reach the top of the 12 foot bank – one step at a time –looking for good footing – the weight of the container obviously a heavy load. She reaches the top and musters her strength to push the container up as high as she can so that she can carry it on top of her head. She successfully reaches her shoulder when the container slips and crashes to the ground. A man about 15 feet away who is loading sand onto a small carrier sees her struggle and walks slowly over and lifts the container so she can position it properly and so she begins her journey – possibly as far as a mile or two. Have you ever carried 20 liters of water?
