The Muslim Awanno staff at Solomon’s wedding- seated across the room from us Christians because they do not eat our meat. We all had a great time.

 

This was at the graduation program for the local elementary school. The man with the red beard is the Muslim leader for the whole area. The graduation program had all kinds of entertainment- singing, drama, and here, gymnastics.

 

More characters watching graduation. I think there must have been 500 kids there, there were so many! Of course, the two white girls were seated front center!

 

These are the kids we hope to start a VBS type program with. This field is just outside our compound, and they are always there playing. They are all children of Muslim families.

 

I am discussing/learning about the process of threshing the teff, their grain.

 

Here I’m trying it myself. The “bad stuff” blows away.
