Small boy army/soccer game Fatou enlisted to help us carry firewood across the village for our neem cream demo (local insect repellent). The "small boying" phenomenon here was a bit disturbing to me at first, but have to admit it has its benefits. In a nutshell, it means any adult can ask any child to run errands for them around the village and the child has to comply.
Making neem cream
Jacob with Jonyi, our favorite host sister. Mom, Jonyi's shirt here should look familiar!
Lisa's adorable host brother, Bru Bru. In case there was any doubt that children are universally messy eaters (that's rice all over him)...
Bruschetta and alfredo pasta with mushrooms and eggplant. We got two thumbs up from Lisa's Gambian co-workers for this one!
Making ebey on our gas stove for the first time. I caught Fatou unprepared, so I managed to capture her infectious smile that she usually refuses to show the camera.
Pounding the cassava
Not-so-convincing attempt at a candid shot of me helping Fatou make tiyokatos (like peanut brittle)
Little Ntanding rocking out. She's maybe 6. Love this!
