Food For Thought

Yesterday we were teaching the students the stem..."I like" and they were to contribute 3 things that they like to do. The list was varied and several things were mentioned often....soccer, sleeping, going to school, eating....but the most frequently mentioned favorite thing to do was....wait for it.....bathing! Being clean is a rare and special treat. There is little water and the dust is inches thick on the ground and yet they appear clean and in clean clothes. The clean appearence is probably the result of what we might call a "spit bath" but a real bath or shower is a treat. I can identify! When we get home after a total of 3 hours of travel time either walking or in the back of the pick-up on hot, dusty roads, I would love to have a shower. Unfortunately, the water only runs every other day and only in the morning. Those showers every other morning are a real treat for us and that's much more than the people of Muncoes get. Something to think about when you take your next shower or bath.
