So you want to use a latrine

Peace Corps training video on how to go to the bathroom in Burkina Faso. Some people have never had to use anything other than a toilet, and not having one can be scary, but this video covers a step by step guide on how to do your business when there is not a toilet.

Keep a long piece of re-rod with a hook on the end for fishing your keys out and do not put gasoline or kerosene in the hole and light it to get rid of the flies and roaches. 45 years later I remember both.

I was in my last 3 months as a PCV in BF, when I saw another volunteer's cinder block, toilet seat, and super glue commode. Highly recommend this investment. 4 cinder blocks total, two on each side, some super glue (or caulking if you're lucky) and a toilet seat....a guaranteed way to improve your service, and have your host family laugh at you even more.

Can we get a video on advanced techniques? Such as using a cellphone flashlight while using a latrine at night? Perhaps a segment on getting to a latrine when abdominal pressure is so great that it does not allow for bending at the waist?
