When we did go to the field, we caused a bit of a scene. Any of our staff get extra attention on site visits because our staff are obviously outsiders in the small villages where our projects are located. When a white woman from America shows up in a big SUV, I draw a little more attention, I suspect.
At this site, a crowd of kids gathered to stare because I was probably the first white person they'd ever seen. When we arrived some of the kids, mostly girls, were bringing jugs to the taps in the background. They filled the jugs when the water began to flow because most houses in the village likely don't have running water. I'm not sure how often water comes to these public taps but it comes from the bore hole located at the left:
