Photo- Washing the clothes

 

Me doing the laundry, downstairs at the outside tap. There is a twin tub washing machine in the house but when there is only a few pieces to wash it's better doing it Indian style - by hand in cold water - but at least the sun was shining on my back while I did it. For years there was no twin tub in the house and everything was done by hand. It is only in the last few years that Champa has had a twin tub. But even now, a few years later, she still washes her laundry by hand before she puts it in the twin tub as she doesn't trust it to get clothes clean.
