The Bintaro Lama Trip

It took so long to get to the Bintaro kampung. We passed many places and Ms. Whitley told us about the river we passed. We saw someone in the river, I think he was fishing. When we got there it was to stinky.

First we went to the water station. We were entered in a home where they teach the children about water and ways to use it. They showed us a poster of when to wash your hands. It was a really nice poster. There were some women in green shirts and they were the people who were helping in the water cleaning.

Then we went to the fourth station and in the fourth station they were cleaning the water by adding PUR to the water. After they added the PUR they put the water on top of this cloth and put the cloth on top of a pitcher. The water slowly went down into the pitcher and the water was so transparent it looked like you could drink it.

After that we went to the sixth station. In that station they showed us two ways to clean water, one way was to add a kind of tablet that was called aquataps. Aquataps was used to clean flood water. Another way was to add a few drops of a kind of liquid that cleaned the river water. We got a few brochures about the aquataps and the other cleaning liquid.

I think that I am so lucky to have a nice home and not having to worry about the amount of water I get. I think the song that they taught us was very good. When we were going back to school I was thinking about the kampung and what we did in it. I felt soooo tired after the field trip. I just wanted to go straight to bed!
