Picture 30 The kids round at our house cooking fresh corn just before harvest time.
Picture 31 The kids would often come round, camp out on the front step,stare at us and scrounge bananas.

Picture 40 Occasionally we would get hold of of something special, in this case strawberries and chocolate angel delight.
Picture 41 A bottle of Safari Lager was often the order at the end of the day!
Picture 42 Or we'd go down to our local for some beers or local brew which was fermented bamboo juice called Ulanzi. 1 litre was the equivalent of 2 pence!
Picture 43 We'd also go into town on the weekends and meet up with other volunteers. In a bar normally.
Picture 44  We were lucky to live near a town with lots of volunteers from lots of different countries and it made for many good times. I remember laughing myself silly when taking this photo but not what was going on!
Picture 45 Sometimes we'd have people round and play Risk.
