Carrying water from the source or rivers to the house is the responsibility of the women in Africa, so also in Cameroon.
They carry large buckets on their head and how strange is might look, the bucket seldom falls. They start with this practice at an early age and the older the women get the larger the burden.
You also should try it, it could be very refreshing!

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
