arduous laundry
This burdensome and unending task is done by hand using buckets. Those that do the laundry often suffer with skin ailments due to the continual use of soaps and scrubbing. These are the challenges most of us are unaware of. An MVPC friend funded the purchase of a washing machine to launder the daily loads for 85 children! Once the solar system and batteries are repaired, the washing machine will be used on a regular basis.
