Washing laundry by hand in Guatemala

Think doing laundry is a tedious job? Most women in San Antonio Palopo, Guatemala, do their laundry by hand … in a lake!
Olivia and Juana are mothers of two sponsored children in San Antonio, a community in the hills along Lake Atitlan.
The women carry clothes on their head down a steep hill to the water’s edge. When they finish, they carry the heavy load of wet clothes up the hill and back home.
Watch this slideshow to see how it’s done.
