Hey everyone,
Today we went to the river to wash clothes. The walk was nice as it was previously and...
It's been a couple days since I started this post, but the trip to the river went great. The majority of the time was spent helping my host dad on his farm. We washed the clothes pretty quickly and had lunch, the farming was the first time I have ever seen slash and burn farming in person.
The photos below follow that narrative and the trip overall changed my view of what I here to do. I can see that the methods being used are ingrained in the heads of the people who have been using them for generations and I can not try to change everything right away. I need to work with the people to find methods that work best for their situation.
The power is still out, and I had to travel to Central to charge it so I could write this. I'm sure it'll be up soon, but I wish I'd brought a solar panel like some of my cohorts, lol. Other than that thing's have been pretty same old same old.
I look forward to seeing you all again, and I'll leave you with this.
