Charlie and Maria is a book about two different kids that live in two different parts of Kenya.
Charlie
is a kid that has to drink muddy water out of the ground and not being aloud to school. Charlie would really like to go to school instead of walking twice a day with a bucket on her head to get water for her family to live. The water lets her family drink and some for cooking.
Maria
life is so much easier for Maria she gets fresh water and food she goes to school and she is so much more healthier. It all began in 1978 when two New Zealand scientists Ben and Winsome Webster came to Maria's part of Kenya it hadn't rained for years so the two scientist thought that if they build a little river from another river they will get nice clean fresh water it took thousands of people but it all payed off in the end.
I really enjoyed this story because it makes you think how lucky you are and not every body has a good life.
I would rate this book a 10/10.
Quote that i got out of this book: Think about what you do have and not what you don't have.
