We bought it and I spend a morning explaining and showing them how to use it. However, whenever I visit, Abu is terribly dehydrated and very thirsty.  I suspect that the fatalistic world view of our neighbours prevents them from giving the precious milk to a sick and dying baby.  Basically it seems like they are leaving Abu to die.
