WATERisLIFE Field Teams - Using Water to Nourish the Body and Soul. This is no ordinary day for Jane. Jane is a Maasai woman in Amboseli, Kenya. Like other Maasai women, Jane spends every waking hour working and serving other people in her village. Jane's day is spent doing hard labor. She built the hut she lives in. She does the laundry and the cooking. She tends to her children and husband's every need. She milks the cows and goats. She walks a distance to gather water that she will then have to boil so it's safe to drink. If she has downtime, she beads together beautiful jewelry to adorn her husband, herself or to sell to tourists that visit nearby Amboseli National Park. BUT TODAY, Jane is sitting down. She's putting her feet up. WHY is this such a big deal, you ask? Because Jane is getting her first pedicure. We wanted to pamper Jane; show her what love is; prove to her she deserves it! We soaked and scrubbed her dirty feet, then massaged them. We filed her toes. We painted them bright red (red, the color of Massai.) We could feel the joy. In Jane. In the room. We could see the joy. Not just on Jane's face but on all the women in the room. The others giggled as they watched, almost in disbelief. Never before, had someone taken the time to do this. To make them feel pretty. Special. But the real joy came to us when we saw Jane later in the day. Her beautiful red toes shining brightly in her dingy, rugged, sandals. As she approached us, she held out her hands. She had painted her fingernails bright red to match her toes. Her nails were shining and so was she. She was proud. She felt pretty. We all know Water saves lives! We can't live without it. At WATERisLIFE we witness pure joy when people pump water from a newly dug well. Today, we got to experience that and so much more. We also witnessed pure joy when we saw a sense of unworthiness wash away with a pan of water. Who would've thought that a few inches of water, a bottle of red nail polish and a simple act of serving could make someone feel more worthy and so loved.
