Andrew's Home!

We were so honored to be able to visit Andrew's home in Kakiri. It was a good distance out in the country and it was so beautiful!! His garden has banana, cassava, yam, beans, sweet potato, corn, and avocado. The soil is so rich and there are no deer to come eat the crops! One of the pigs has piglets that live in the chicken house. They don't have chickens now but want to start a business. The have a tank for rainwater and only need to go to the well when the dry season comes. Half of the roof is new but half has holes, so Andrew's room and his mother's room get rained on and they stand all night in the living room when it rains. There is no power so they use candles. He has rigged up his radio that you see beside him in his room. He showed us his clothes which are in one trunk. The kitchen is a hut outside and they cook over the fire. They are beautiful people and we were so honored to be there. Because of the distance it took to get there we did not have much time to visit but we loved every minute of it!! Jaja is the name for grandmother, and we loved seeing her. Harriet is his lovely mother, and Alvin and Anita are his little brother and little sister. Hope to see them soon!!
