I had an opportunity to do something much more major the other day. It was an extremely hot day, around 38 Celscius, as it has been the last few days. There were a group of teenagers on my bus and it was obvious one of them was in great distress. She couldn’t sit up and was lying on the floor of the bus, often not responding at all to her friends attempts to talk to her and wake her up.

Listening to the conversation, it became apparent she was severely dehydrated and hadn’t had anything to drink all day. I couldn’t help but think that was extremely foolish, given the weather, but my own half drunk bottle of water immediately became a weight on my conscience. So I got it out and gave it to her friends, who were very grateful.
