A different world...

I'm staying in a small village called Mnxe. I am

staying with a big family, at most we are ten
people in the house. The first day I arrived I was
really shocked. No flushing toilet, no shower, no
nothing. My toilet? I have to pass the cat, dogs,
the cows, chickens, ducks and finally my toilet - in
the same house as the pig! Five months later I'm
still here. I know I'm going to cry when I leave this
place. I don't miss flushing toilets and a shower
anymore."
Anne Marte Bjorkavoll, volunteer from Norway.
