We spent a day helping sponsored family perform daily chores. I harvested sorgum, sifted and beat beans, and a couple of brave souls made the 2 hour hike down the mountain for fetch water. I didn't go because we were warned it was very dangerous. One member ran into some trouble with the altitude change during the hike and needed to be helped back. I can't imagine having to do that hike several times a day just to get water. It really put into perspective the difficulty of obtaining the simple things.
