Choo Fishing

This morning was full of excitement. Just as Acacia was getting ready to start school, she dropped her flip flop down the choo (pit latrine)! Acacia only has one pair of shoes, so this was a considerable loss.

Then the choo fishing started...


Gaby, Liana, and Acacia all jumped in to help rescue Acacia's flip flop, with a "fishing pole" Michael quickly rigged up.



Success! Michael fished out the flip flop after several attempts.
The fisherman posed for a picture with his catch: Acacia's Chaco flip flop which was now covered in maggots and everything else that goes down the choo.


Acacia then got to work with bleach and soap to clean her rescued flip flop.

All of this before 10 am on Bethany's first morning with our team!
