Way back, when I was a young boy, I can remember going to visit relatives that lived out in a rural country setting. (That's the politically correct version.) They did not have running water in their house. You had to go out to the water well to get buckets of water. It wasn't so inconvenient because, for me, it was just for the weekend.
Then I went to rural Congo about 40 years later. I stepped back into time. I experienced and saw things that I had not seen for four decades. I had almost forgot about my past life.
It was a "Rod Sterling" moment. But it was not the Twilight Zone, it was real life in the rural Congo today.
