I learned that Jack and Jill went up the hill. But I have found that water is located down the hill from most Congo villages.
It is a challenge to get clean safe water. It is located far, far away from the village. It is down the hill in the creek valley. Getting to the water source is easy. You just have to walk three miles downhill.
Once these Congolese girls and children get the water, they start the trip back. It is up the hill. And now you are carrying 40 pounds of water on your head. Oh, don't forget it is still three miles back to the village.
