Day 6: I smell :(
So I'm on the train, and it's packed. I'm coming home from climbing, and I had to run for the train, so I'm all horrible and sweaty and smelly and the man next to me has just moved seats. I actually stink. I've got enough water for a 3 minute shower tonight though, so I'll be a bit better tomorrow :) One thing that I have been contemplating is this: on Friday, when this is all over, I'm going to have a huge bath with lots of bubbles and feel really clean. In a developing country, that's just not an option. We've had a hard time doing this for a week: I feel horrible and yucky and smelly as it is, but so many people have to live like this all the time. I hope the money that we've raised this week will help people like that, people who don't have the luxury of clean running water whenever they want it. If you can spare any money at all then please do, the fact that people have to live like this all the time is terrible, and I hope we will all do all that we can to help. I'm giving my lunch money for this week, and I hope that it will make a difference to someone's life. Thanks :) Naomi x
