We have had the opportunity to help the women in several community and villages. In this village the children walk to school 4 hours each morning and night cross -country. The children and some parents leave at 4:30 am to walk. At the school, there were 26 dogs wandering in and out. DOGS Everywhere.
We were able to take them school supplies and bananas. The parents also got a banana each. One little old lady received her banana and quietly hid it under her apron in hopes that we would think she was missed and could get another one.
They fed us maggoty potatoes and old tough ram that was chopped apart with an old ax. We ate this with our fingers.
For a surprise, they brought out a bottle of pop. They poured this pop into a white tin cup. I drank first and then the 1 cup was passed around the villagers. When it finally arrived back to me, I guarantee that I did not want seconds no matter how thirsty I was. I definitely needed a cold COKE to digest this. But alas... no Coke
The children then took the empty pop bottle and filled it out of the sheep stream and drank it. Maybe it made the sheep water taste a little sweeter.
