Playing With Water
Share
More from our Mozambique. (Previous posts here.)
Later in the afternoon we traveled to a marketplace where a theater group, funded by the group PSI, performed a short play about sanitizing water. During the performance we learned that you just need to drop a few drops of the products (certeza) into a jug of water, shake it around, and wait 30 minutes to purify the water. The actors were, well, quite good – and a large crowd, including many children, gathered to watch. At the end, anyone who asked a question got a free bottle of the product. Each bottle is enough for 60 large jugs of water – and usually cost the equivalent of about 30 cents.
Similar theater groups perform plays about malaria and HIV.

This trip you all are on is amazing. It is so great for those of us ensconced in our day to day lives here in the States to have first hand accounts of what life is like in Africa. Keep the posts and photos coming!
