Some chores consist of going to get water if there is no running water in the home. In rural areas, some families have to walk a bit of distance to a water spigot and carry it home in a big tub. This is when you see the women carrying things like baskets on their heads. Even though males and females can do all chores equally, fetching water has traditionally been a female's job in African countries. Since housework is considered a female job, many boys do not do chores at all here. That is somewhat different than the U.S., would you say?

Most children take the school bus like many of you do in Kentucky, although many children have to walk quite some distance to get to the bus stop. Often times, children will walk with others who live in their neighborhood.
