Water is Life

When I spent time in Zambia, Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer, the entire village was reliant on the borehole, or the well, for water.

Vitality and Community

Water is essential to life and brings vitality to communities all throughout the world. Specifically, in these remote villages, it is vital and necessary for human thriving to have a borehole. Without a source of water, there are no people. When you meet at the borehole, you will often be greeted by different families and people who are sharing the water together.

What I learned from this experience is simple and I believe applicable to life in modern cities: everybody shares from the same well and is working towards a collective good for the entire community.
