On Hygiene …
Can we say "bucket shower?" Yep folks, that's right. The shower head is broken so each morning your friend wakes up and shuffles to the bathroom to stand in the tub and use a bowl to bathe. I hope this isn't too graphic for y'all. It really isn't that bad. We do have cool running water, which feels great in the morning after a hot night of sleeping on top of the covers.
The bathroom situation is not too bad. The emergency supply of Charman received as a Christmas gift from my sister has so far remained in my bag. The water supply is not consistent all around town though. When the water shuts off you have to fill the tank with water to flush. So far I have not had to do this myself.
These things are challenges, but not impossibilities. I do miss the comforts of home in this regard, but four months will help me be so very thankful for them when I'm back.
If you have any other hygiene questions just let me know! lol …
Do you have a BCP for the manual toilet filling/flushing procedure? Pam and I have experienced some terrible bathroom issues here at 30S lately, so we probably should write an SOP for this floor as well
Keep the posts coming! We are checking the site frequently…
the idea that a cool shower is refreshing is a bit foreign to us Indians right now. Keep up the posting, we’re praying!
