Home Visit #5
We visited this home in another part of Bhukwini down the highway from where we thought Bhukwini ended. This woman talked with us with two of their area council leaders present, and she often deferred her answers to them. She did share with us that she wanted to go back to school and become a nurse.

Walking the Village
We usually moved as a herd when we went from our main location at the field to visit other places like the school. Kids carried our chairs on their heads. Men never seemed to carry anything.
Celebration
The first few days, we spent a good bit of time in worship and welcome celebrations. This one was during our Sunday "church" service. The table and chairs in the picture went wherever we went, along with a written agenda they had for each day. We never followed it, with some improvisations causing some awkward moments.
