This is David – the orphanage and the surrounding village use this little spigot for all of their drinking water. I tried to ask where it comes from, but no one could give me a straight answer – the hose is just laying on the side of the path for as far as you can see. Kathmandu, Nepal
don’t think I would want to know where the water iscoming from – not something a non-Nepali would want to drink – really nice series on the orphans — well done and good for you for going there to help out — it is a beautiful country but so devastatingly poor – dave
Thank you David! Yes it’s very beautiful. Someone told me it’s the 2nd poorest country in the world, but I’m not sure if that’s true. We drank that water most of the time we were there, except we put it through a gravity-fed filter first…I was a little worried, but none of us got typhoid so it turned out ok :)
thanks for the reply — glad you didn’t get sick – for the villagers who are used to drinking the water they become somewhat immune to the bugs - the filters must have done their job- I have been to Nepal quite a few times – some visiting friends and some doing work on ground water – really like your personal photos of the kids – dave
