The Things We Take For Granted

It's hard to comprehend what it must be like to have to go and carry water to your house every day. I am always humbled when I see this sort of thing and thanks to designers P.J. and P.S. Hendrikse this task can be made a lot easier due to their clever invention. This cylindrical container that rolls along the ground will hold as much as 75 liters of water.

Thanks for sharing this. It is heartbreaking what people in many parts of Africa have to go through just to get drinking water. We are so incredibly lucky to be born in the West.
