Reverend Moses Nyimale Lezor, the school director in Bodo, Bariala Tornunaelbabari and Scott Pegg, June 2012. Bariala cannot lock her hips in place and has trouble walking. She was denied access to or kicked out of a number of schools because people thought she was possessed by crocodiles or a “child witch.” She is a lovely, beautiful child and we are so happy to have her at our school in Bodo.

“Politicians and celebrities are often enamored of ‘clean water’ – but less keen on posing next to the latrines that must be built to keep water that way. A few frank and indignant souls are trying to help.” – book review of Rose George, The Big Necessity in The Economist, October 11, 2008.
