OWL: There is a new well at your school. Do many people share it?
AN: We have 500 pupils from our school using the well and people from seven other villages surrounding the school also come to this well.

OWL: What do you use the water for?
AN: At school, we need water for drinking and hand washing. At home, for cooking, bathing, washing clothes, watering animals, and watering our kitchen garden.

OWL: Has the well made a difference?
AN: My life has greatly changed. I was traveling long distance to collect water, but I am spending less time getting water than before. I do not complain of stomach problems as I used to. My mother was also traveling long distances, and now she can do other work. Our medical bills for diarrhea were high, but we have had very few cases this year.

OWL: You have a big family — four brothers and seven sisters! Do you do chores to help out?
AN: Yes, I cook every evening, dig in the garden on Saturday, and wash clothes for my younger brothers. My father is a farmer and we have to dig every weekend in order to earn our living.
