Water

This week has been a crazy week with water. For whatever reason, it has been coming out of the tap very, very dirty - some days brown. So before we filter it, we actually need to let all of the dirt settle. One day it came out clean, but smelled like bleach. Hmmm. Makes you wonder.
Obviously we try to avoid washing clothes when the water we are attempting to clean in is dirtier than the clothes.
Good friends of ours travel all over Kenya helping villages get good wells so they can have access to clean water. Much sickness and death could be avoided here by simply having good water. Someone told me this week that almost 60% of the deaths in children between birth - 4 years could be avoided by people simply washing their hands at least once a day with soap (even if the water was dirty). Hard to comprehend.
All in all, we are thankful for the water we have access to. Not much of a post this week, but honestly, the water was filthy. Here is a picture of the ceramic filters. We cleaned them about 4 days before this picture was taken.
