Internet/Power and Water

BWe had power, Internet, and water outages intermittently. Yet we all managed to function well. When we had power sometimes we would have Internet. We were unable to connect on our devices as often as we do at home. Instead we spent more time together. We noticed this same trend at the Deborah school. We only saw one phone out during our 15 min in the teacher lounge. At Fregnet there was regular Internet service but the staff did not appear to be connected. The staff at Fregnet were advised by the police to turn off their internet after 9 pm since young kids had been congregating near the school. This was seen as a safety hazard for women walking home at night who had no clue what these groups were up to in the dark.

There were times when several people got 60 seconds worth of water for their shower and had to finish by using bottled water. I learned to take very quick showers and not to wash my hair every day. Instead I used Kayla's recommendation to use more conditioner.
