At the time of our visit, Torotoro had only had electricity for 2 years and running water for 1 year. However, not everyone was blessed with such conveniences, which puzzled me. It seems if the goverment or a private body would come into such a rural location and set the community up with modern conveniences, they shouldn't be charging a utility bill, right? Why is it that some people didn't have running water?

Well, at least I got to see this family washing clothes in the river, which was entertaining because of the small child hiding periodically under the colorful blanket.
