Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Matsaka rano means fetching water. Buckets, cups, watering cans, empty cans, pots, basins—all are used to tote water. Ravola, Isera, Iyanzara, Tsitrapo, and Voaizy are in the picture. After getting the water, they had to climb a fairly steep hill. Tsitrapo slipped and dropped her watering can, so she had to go back down and get water all over again.
