How I drink safe water here

   Many people ask me how I drink my water here.
   It's pretty easy peasy.
   Here, lemme show you:

I get my water from my host mother's pump. This gives me a nice little workout:

I pump one water bucket about two times a week.

Afterward, I boil the water for at least five minutes:


When the water is cool, I filter it. It can take all night for the water to filter:
   
   Finally, I'll have safe drinking water. Yay!
   Thank God for my host family's water pump.
   Before they got it installed last year, they'd hike up the mountain next to our house with buckets and wheelbarrows until they approached the springs:

   Then, they'd collect the water and hike back down. Everyday.
   Sigh.
   I have nothing to complain about.
   I'll never take advantage of the convenience of a water faucet again.
   Never.
