Time for maize and pumpkin to be harvested and people are drying them on the road side, in the yard and on the roof top....

Guinny Fwel(what's the spelling???) are not good mothers so the chicken are the moms to hutch and to baby them.....there were times I saw fwel babies are bigger than chicken moms....

A villagers meeting was in a community school that there are no tables, students have to sit on the brakes on the ground as these villagers do..........Some villages do not even have a community school.....

Aanother day my villagers' meeting got cancelled due to the notice got lost on the way....I run back and forth in Mansa in between the district and provincial level of Dept. of Education to seek ways to have community school built or some community schools get some support with teachers and get school supplies from government........They were surprised that I really run back and forth to their offices as they told me to, but still no clear answer from either of those offices, but firmly both offices expressed that the parents had to go see these officers themselves to insure they will appreciate a school to be established and keep it going for good.

Well, if it has to be so let it be.......it is meant, I go back to villagers and tell them that a few of them have to walk out of their village on the trails and road that I biked an hour and a half from their village to the main paved road than bike an hour and a half from Mabumba to Mansa....so convert it to time of walking????...let's see how this avenue turns to....
