...it's also about hygiene. As part of the two dollar challenge, students were not allowed the use of showers, since on a $2 per day budget they would not be able to afford indoor plumbing. They were allowed to bathe and take "sink-baths," but there are limits to how clean one can get in that manner. It is particularly difficult to wash one's hair.
(Student 1):" I cannot wait until I can take a nice shower. My hair is so gross! My
friends have shunned me from sitting with them at the library, so I'm
sitting all alone and am smelly apparently."
(Student 2): "Loving my greasy hair!!!! not...."
(Student 3): "This whole no showering is making me feel completely disgusting, I'm not
so sure how people go without showers everyday of their lives. IT IS
AWFUL. "
(Student 4): "I went to the soccer game today and one of the people I know was like
aren't you doing that 2 dollar challenge thing? and I said yeah and they
go that means you can't shower and I said no... and everyone around me
was so grossed out."
