Congolese Kindergarten

It was inspiring to see a private kindergarten in Kananga.

A Water Strike?

Are the women who carry the water on strike? Maybe?

Last night when I arrive home (at the guest house), the bath room was locked. Ok, not a big problem for now.

I got up early and still was locked. Still, it is not big problem. I consult with the day and night keepers. Translating their body language and mumbling: Dumb American - the door is not locked. To their surprise, the find the door locked.

Then they mumble something about water. They said I can go to the other bathroom at their other building around the corner. No way, it is not a big problem at this point.

I shave, brush my teeth, wash me face, dress and depart. Caution, I didn't shower today!
