Bucket Bath



Out in the village there is no running water. So that means when it is time for me to take a bath, which is every day since it is hot and I sweat during my nap, I take a bucket bath. To take a bucket bath, first you have to get your water. This involves walking to the well and drawing the water. You then carry the water to the shower in a bucket, of course you have to carry the bucket on your head. Here I am carrying a bucket on my head!




After that, you take the bucket of water to the shower for the bath. Normally you just scoop the water out with your hand to get yourself wet, but for me, mommy or daddy throw water on me with a cup. It is fun, especially when you are hot and the water is cold! However, if you really want to have some fun you get a big bucket in which you can sit. That is what I am doing here!
