Plumbing and fashion

George: For those of you more interested in the technical aspects of our visit, this post is for you.
1. The orphanage uses well water. During the dry season (if I understand properly), extra water is brought in with tanker trucks and stored in underground tanks. They also have several cisterns to store rain water. Sewage goes to septic tanks.
In each bathroom, there is a toilet, shower nozzle (on the end of a hose), small bucket, and large pail. (There is another device, but I will let the ladies explain that). So, to take a shower, you fill the large pail with water. Then, you pour the water over yourself with the small bucket. It is a good idea to fill the pail in the evening, since the water stops working at night (for some unknown reason).
2. I am not wearing any socks with my sandals.
