The I-India Shower Bus !

Posted on November 23, 2007 | Filed Under Humour 

Watch and feel good ! (There’s some funny distorted voice in the background in the beginning, ignore it)

Here’s the writeup about the video:

“This little jewel of a video perfectly expresses a truth few people understand: If you have never brought joy to a child in need, you have missed one of life’s greatest opportunities for happiness.

The shower bus visits each of I-India’s School on Wheels street centres twice a week and provides the children there with an on-the spot shower. Soap, shampoo, anti-lice lotion, combs and toothpaste are also provided, as is hygiene education. This service may be the only proper wash a child will get all week. In the long hot season from March to November when temperatures can reach 48C/120F, the showers become a joyful party for the children. “

The bus is a project of I-India (www.i-indiaonline.com) which works with street children in Jaipur.
