We were joined very briefly by a grubby but inquisitive pig at one point. Later on a small dog came in and lay on the floor. I learned from my neighbour that he belonged to a participant who is blind. The dog didn't arrive or leave with her!
Lunch was Jojo (peanut soup) with Banku (fermented maize and cassava dough ball thing!) and a piece of smoked fish, all eaten with your hands. I'm struggling to get used to the heavy balls of stuff. There are 4 types now- Banku, Kenke, TZ and Fufu. The fish is lovely and the soup is good but spicy.
I go back for Day 2 tomorrow. It will be a little more practical and I can help with the facilitation, apparently. Great stuff. I can feel useful and have a free lunch!!
Here are a couple of photos from inside the house. Despite the intense heat and sunshine it is quite dark.
It is great to find an evening to catch up on your news and now you have photos as well, the whole commentary has come to life.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen our first real sunshine here for a while and it is quite warm today, but nothing like you are experiencing!
Keep up the good work, both in the district and with your blog!
Love Marcia
