The title of my post is the title of the article that I read before I finally got started getting more involved with my internship. Fayette Coleman, a black, 66 year old woman hadn’t had running water for 3 years.
I was appalled by the fact that this woman, this human being, had to suffer in such a manner. This 66 year old woman collected rain water in a trash can! I mean. How insensitive can we be as humans to take away something so essential as water? Huh? I mean I teared up rereading this article.
It’s atrocious. Part of me wishes that I could do more with my internship so that I could do more for the problem…
Water shutoffs are triflin’.
Period.
Peace Out.
They truly are. Our world is messed up. Thank you for sharing this.
