Cultural confusion — quicky
Sunday, June 10th, 2007Okay, so we were filming and visiting with Hope for Woman in Dehra Dun and vasi went to use th bathroom, but found it unpleasant, so came out. Sajee explained to her something about how the plumbing was bad so she’d have to use the bucket and water. TO me i knew this to mean that instead of a push flush she’d have to fill a bucket with water and manually flush it. When I asked her why she didnt use the toilet she said,
“he said the toilet didnt work so i’d have to use the scoop to scoop out the toilet when im done.”
This is one of the HFW workers
