Bunduq seems to be bestowing a greeting as we pass a village girl on her way to the water plant to fill a jerry can with purified water. Most of us out here depend on our wells, which are more reliable in delivering good water than the city taps are as long as they are deep enough, but the well water is very hard due to the calcium in the soil and often has a slightly sulphurish taste. So a number of the larger farms have built reverse osmosis water plants and made taps available to the farmers who collect the pure water for babies and drinking water.

Interesting how that works.
Sweet Bunduq, surely she can't carry a full jerry can?? Or ...?
Lovely little girl - and thanks for keeping your blog, it's great to read.
she is cute...how lives of the little ones differ!
That little girl won't be able to carry that container when it's full. How will she get it home?
You'd be surprised. These are not weak city kids...but very possibly someone will meet her to carry it back.
Such a sweet little girl, she's so young!
Beautiful horse too!
Thank you for sharing your blog and photos, it is a great opportunity to learn about other ways of life.
Excelent de water it life, very good foto
very good. i remember watching a little boy sitting in one of those canals and dipping a bowl in the eater and drinking it.

Do you do anything to filter out your drinking water? With all that calcium, are bones healthier as a result?
I don't know about anyone else, but when I had a bone density exam last spring, my orthopedic surgeon told me that I was off the chart. My bones were better than his by a long shot...other than the arthritis from wear and tear.

Such an honest photo! I always feel so uncomfortable taking up close pictures of kids when I travel. I think it is a little tougher for men to do it because, well, I mean they pretty much take you to jail if you do! But there is just so much honesty in the faces of little kids looking into a camera. Like they haven't learned to turn something off yet. Fantastic.
