Pics from yesterday - delayed posting due to power outage.

The road to Chekuuru.

Another one of ORANT charities water pump wells along the way.

The school where we will set up our clinic today.

Women walking to the clinic to be seen.

Each day in the villages we are served lunch in the home of the village chief, who is the most well-off person in the community.  The custom here is to not dine with your guests.  Cuisine clockwise from 11:00 o'clock: Rice,
Nshima, the traditional starchy food made from maize - it is like grits but much finer and cooked to a paste that is used to sop up the other foods. Flatware is rarely available.  Greens - aka stewed pumpkin leaves. More rice. Chicken stewed with tomato and onion.

L to R: Yours truly, the headmistress from the Chekuuru school, Jennifer Verner.

Those still waiting to be seen when we had to leave.  This village was over an hour from the mission and we were instructed to leave in time to be back on the M-1 before dark.

The school children so excited to see the mzungus.

The beautiful evening sunset over what used to be the jungle.
