Water carrying task

In HASS, we got to experience what people without sufficient water felt like. We had to carry about 15-20L of water over a distance of 100m. I already felt so tired and struggled to even hold the water jug. Imagine, some people have to carry that amount of water 20km or more twice a day! We also had to carry water from a bucket into another with our hands. Ms Winter told us about this 5 year old girl who had nothing to carry water into her little teapot, so she had to use her hands! Water was so precious that they couldn’t afford to waste any of it. I couldn’t help but spill amounts of water when I was transferring it to the other bucket.
This makes me feel appreciative of the infinite amount of water we have everyday. We take things too lightly and miss the bigger picture.
