The writer said: "Gebre told me a story that he took a picture of 3 boys, and showed one of the boys and asked him who was in the picture. The boy said well they are my two friends, but I don’t know who he is (pointing at himself). Of course he would not know what he looks like, as they do not have mirrors" I am just wondering why does this have to do in article about water and sanitation. By the way I am not an Ethiopian but you've bewildered my African Spirit by stipulating that we still do not know how we look like???
