Drop by Drop 20
Madho lives in Bajju — a small village in Rajasthan. It is hardly
a village ! All you see is sand all around. One can see some
houses when the sand does not blow.
Everyone in Madho’s family is upset. Every summer there is
water scarcity in his place. This year, it is worse. It did not rain at
all. His mother and sister have to walk a longer distance to fetch
water as the nearby pond has also dried. Each day they spend
hours just to get four pots of water. While walking on the hot sand
their feet burn and blisters just cannot be avoided.

In the above visual, conciously defined gender role of women has
been shown. (fetching water). Discuss on this issue in the class to
remove gender discrimination.
