This picture was taken at Salomi's birthday party back in December, around Christmas time.
This was also at Salomi's 2nd birthday party. Kirshan is the Beerbal's son, and is 6 years old.
Last Monday, Ellen and I spent the day at Beerbal and Faniza's house helping out by taking care of their 6 children because she was in bad condition, and needed to be taken to the hospital by Mr. Hunter. Here are some pictures that we took while we went through our day:
AAAGHHHH! It put this at the bottom of my post. Grr... (moved by the mystery editor)
Me trying to cook in their kitchen, which is exactly what you see, while watching little girls. I was making soup on a gas stove thing, that was definitely interesting. I have never seen one of those things before. I had to have the oldest girl, Shaneeza, how to light the burners and show me how to work them...:)
These are all of the kids in the process of killing these bees that were in their bedroom. They are called malibunters, and Ellen headed up the killing bees process while I cooked. they are pumped because they have some bees in the bucket. I would hear random screaming, and Ellen yelling, and I would be like, "What is going on?" Then I would hear Ellen urgently yell "Where's the scissors??" or "Get the bucket!!!" "They're flying, DUCK! AAAAAAHHHHH!!" "There's one, there's another. GET THE SPOON!" She was running around smashing them with a metal spoon to paralyze them, and the kids followed with the scissors to slice them in half. She also had soapy water in the blue bucket which was placed over their hives. Salomi was the only one stung. Figures. It was a dead one too. In the meantime, I was yelling "You kids get in here, don't go in there, I don't want anyone getting hurt because I don't have a car, and there's no hospital to take you to!" Nobody seemed to be listening. Then I would be like, "You guys better not hurt yourseves!" Wow. That was an event.

These are great pictures! Thanks for sharing them and your stories. I'm always eager to hear more about how it's going for you and what it's like there.

Those are hilarious...now THAT'S real life down there, huh? nice!
For some people here, this is real life. Many people have washers though, and regular sinks. This is about the most primitive I have seen, other than the homeless men that walk around.
