air-conditioning, a microwave, and a flush toilet!

My favorite place to read.


In the Afternoon on Sunday November 11th David Iileka, Meme’s
Father-in-law and the town headman, graced us with his presence. He
speaks little English but we were able to communicate via meme. Upon his
request I sat and ate a meal with him. Apparently he really just
wanted to see the American drink oshikundu and eat oshithima with her
hands.


Traditional Beer. Holly, look closely, you can see dead bugs floating
in it. Yup, I drank it.


I have been warmly welcomed the community. I’ve attended church and
community meetings and have had the pleasure of meeting, greeting. and
shaking hands with just about everyone. Two community members, David
Iileka and Meme Emilia, gave me chickens as gifts to show their
respect and to welcome me to Onakaheke. Meme Lahja slaughtered the
rooster a few weeks ago, leaving the hen to produce eggs. It was
delicious.


What are you doing Meme Lahja?


Garbage disposal


Dog


Cow


Weary goats. They were not happy to have me disturb their evening graze.
