Environmental Impact

This is what happens when a country has a lack of garbage disposal and sanitation--people dump everything into the rivers and streams. Then this happens:


The river gets blocked and after a heavy rain the water finds an alternate route to get out, thus flooding your neighborhood.


Chris and David tried to unclog it so the river could flow again, a very dirty job.


Some neighborhood kids helped, which hopefully is a good lesson to them.


Eventually they decided it was a fruitless effort to clean it out while there was water flowing. So they'll wait until it dries up again and try to clean in after a few days (if we don't get another torrential downpour like yesterday.
