I'm sure the billboards help out a bunch in BFE Africa.

Yeah, sort of a weird place for billboards, but... as long as they're getting money for 'em, whatever.

If the kids play too long, can they over fill the tanks? I'm suspecting a possible design flaw.

Well if they play to much i dont think it would be to hard to have another tank, then you can double your water supply. So as the population grows so does the water supply

Upvote for the ladies at 1:00 balancing the 5 gallon buckets on their heads with no hands as they hoof the water back.

Anyone know why this video has 63 votes but isn't in the top 10? Perhaps it's a time issue, and I missed its quick rise and then it timed out. I dunno.
