Laundry day - Antigua Guatemala

Laundry day

The Public Laundry

About ¼ of the residents lack running water and electricity, so they do their wash here. One woman was scrubbing clothes in one of the sinks while her two older children played. She had a 2-month old baby wrapped in a blanket and tucked into the empty sink next to her. Her husband was sitting nearby watching over them.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
