Trip to a village
















We helped fix up the village's only playground area. Amanda helped in the Kinder garden class. The pic is of Amanda handing out candy to students.
The locals fed us lunch. Here is a traditional meal, served on the floor. The only eating utensil used is a spoon. It was rather tasty!
