Hi Richard I hope all is well with you - I'm in Philippines right now with ERU and don't have your address to hand. With regards to simple showers for poor communities a very simple solution could be one that I have used for simple hand washing . Basically a simplified 'shower in a bag' you mention are familiar with . For hand washing we make a ladle by attaching a wire to a drinks/ beer can which has the top removed and a few small holes at the bottom . This can be dipped into the water container at ground level and taken into and hung up above washing area. Ok you probably need a larger 'can ' such as a cooking oil tin but even a small can will last a surprising length of time .... Just an idea to work from, its very simple cheap and replicable ... worth a try ? Cheers Dan
