Alethea helps Mommy with clinic
Everyday except Sunday at 4pm Alethea beats a skillet with a spoon to signal the beginning of clinic. Mommy treats those that need help on our front porch (walking to those too weak, or sending me).
Alethea here helps Mommy and tries on rubber gloves (and sometimes shares cookies with our guests).
A school day for Noah
Noah learned to read, largely travelling or in the village.
Simple is sometimes better.
Up the river
Embarking from a more accessible village and heading upriver to check on reports of several sick/dying people. The patients were not as bad as we thought, they had just stopped eating and drinking (sometimes happens here). One pregnant lady had a fall and did not move or speak until we listened to the baby and felt it move (I think she was mute and lay still due to fear).
The kids on the riverbanks use netbags to swim along the muddy banks and try to nab small fish.
Travelling buddies
Me and Jimmy Weyato, our village teacher, taking a trip.
And yes...it was HOT that day. Wow.
Noah and Melenus exploring the gardens
Noah likes to walk on logs and cross the creeks and see the gardens (and beat banana plants with big sticks - killing bad guys with swords, he says).

General pics of urban life over here
Not sure if I took these or a friend did who then transferred them to me, but these pics are good to see what urban village life is sometimes like here.
In the middle is a rambutan ruck filled with that wonderful sweet fruit!

Some furlough pics 1 - New York Trip
I am posting these a little late. But oh well.
These are from late fall.
Trip to NYC and NJ.
Noah running in Central Park chasing pigeons. The kids wrestling in bed. And lots of big buildings and lights and traffic and noise and people (get me outta here)!
