water

The word is that Kenya has received some rain... thankfully. It's hard to imagine being hosted by people who don't have enough water to keep their livestock alive. This image has haunted me for a while... it's a picture of Joseph (who's village we are headed to) kayaking on Shoal Lake at my parent's cottage... months earlier, he showed us pictures of his dead cattle at home, and then he's kayaking on more drinking water than most people in his village will ever imagine. How do you do the math on that? I hope we're as good at handling wild disparity as Joseph seemed to be.
