…still on the observations and perspective train of thought…

It’s amazing how much effort can go into some of the simplest tasks when you live on a remote island. One day while scouting for an interview site, Paul and I came across these two girls in the middle of their two-hour plus session of washing for the day. As you can see this is a simple but dedicated process. They use nothing more that a wash tub of soapy water and a piece of plywood to clean their clothes. With little to no access to power this is the way most people do laundry in the RMI.

I thought I was useless with the laundry here at home but I don’t know where I would even begin with this simple set up.
