Great people.

Two years ago, the water main collapsed at the apartment complex, a couple of blocks away. This was about 8 p.m. Nassan went from door to door, asking if our neighbors would allow residents from the apartments to fill containers of water until the water at the apartment was turned back on. The water came back on the next morning.

I guess we gave water to several hundred people.
