While teaching in the slums this morning, one of the locals brought me and the lady from the volunteer organisation cups of tea. While it was a very nice gesture, I’d heard that it was best to avoid drinking tap water here and was a bit worried! Of all the places to drink tap water, the middle of the slums was probably the worst place to! She was standing there though waiting to see if we liked it! I knew it would be considered really rude if I didn’t drink it, so I drank some. It was actually really nice, but I was drinking it really slowly, as if that would make it any less likely to make me ill! She came back to collect the cups and I still hadn’t finished so I had to just down the rest and just prayed that the water had been boiled well and it wouldn’t make me ill!
