One of Foresight Fathers "winning" a water jug for his outstanding garden!
Since I was already scheduled to teach several HIV/AIDS prevention/education classes, I was asked if I would also briefly discuss these new water jugs the VOH was offering to villagers. These water jugs were something different because they had a spigot. The use of the spigot helps prevent contamination of the water, so people aren't dipping their hands, cups, other dishes, etc. into a water bin, therefore making it unclean to drink. I think I remember them costing 50 birr, which is $5.
After my brief explanation on how it works and its benefits, we provided small cups for everyone to come and try it out. It was a big hit and everyone wanted me to take their picture of them drinking the clean water!

We taught the Women's Group (with their children)
It was a fight to get to the water jug!
So PROUD!
A lot of the kids were "collecting" the cups.
Mom got sucked into the picture taking too.
At an awards ceremony, the men with the "best gardens" won a water jug.
Very proud to win anything!
