The End.... ;)

Haha... so here I am - all rather very clean after completing the Water Challenge!

Waking up this morning, and realising that I could have a full-on 10minute shower, flush the loo, and just generally use water without the help of my measuring jug and various other calculations was just very pleasant! :) Carefully placing all my clothing that I wore during the week into the washing basket was rather a nice feeling too... ;)

Felt really clean this morning, whilst travelling to school in clean clothes & having had a proper shower ;)

Through this week, I guess the main thing I've learnt is that, unlike us, who can use water subconsciously at any time, because of the widely available access we have, there are some people in the world who's main problems and thoughts invading their minds are to do with water... whether they'll have enough to survive on.

This week has challenged me in so many ways; not just the fact that I wasn't able to have a shower, but the fact that I was using the resource I had access to in most places I go to, very carefully and calculating each time, so that I would be able to use it efficiently!

Before I started this challenge, I thought it would be too difficult, and that I just won't be able to do it... it's funny how, the things I thought would take up the most water (general cooking) takes up the least... and flushing the loo... well, takes up literally over half of my daily allowance! :P Haha(:


This I'm guessing will be the last post on this blog, from me... for probably a very long time(: maybe forever, but you never know ;) (not that I have anything in particular in mind in the reason to post again... obviously!)

But, one lasting thing...

Esther, Naomi and I did this as a 'challenge' for a week. There are people who do this every single day, without the luxury of free public toilet flushes and having 10L as a definite reserved amount for each day...

Thank-you so much for your on-going support(: & your sponsorships too!

Your support will go towards Tearfund, a charity that's working towards providing this essential need to those who don't have the everyday access to it, like you and I do(:

An idea of how the money raised will be used:
£20 enables Tearfund's church partners to provide year-round clean water, no more than 500 metres from home for one person.
£55 is the cost of enabling a family of EIGHT to achieve safe, adequate sanitation.


Hope this challenge has made you think, as much as it effected us in a lot of ways! :)

Maybe... you could try this out sometime? ;)

Thank-you, so, so, so, so, much, you lovely people :) xxx
