Just as we thought photography for this project was done, one more nugget presented itself under USAID's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene program in Juba, in the form of water supplies to the city and to santiation efforts at a girls school.
I learned some time ago to expect to learn and see something new each time I go out. On this trip I've seen many things not new, refugee life in general, and how much refugees try to find a normalcy in their context, food programs, agriculture....
The water stations often look similar, depending upon the source of that water. But Here I see talks all over town being filled with a fleet of blue trucks that make repeated daily assaults to quench the city's needs for liquid life. Truck after truck fills their tanks to haul water to another part of a thirsty city on a hot and very dusty day.

Opportunity knocks, as this guy fills his cans with overflow from the truck. |
