WEEK 9: On Friday we went on a community visit to distribute brochures for pregnant women and the parents of the children at the Day Care Centre and to call people to come and see the street play. In every house we are offered chai and welcomed; we went to Tamana’s house to find out that she won’t be returning to Day care whilst we are here as she is visiting family which was really upsetting that we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

The rules for driving seems to be that there are none, whole families pile onto a motor bike, round about are alike crossroads darting in which ever way they chose to go. Just about the only thing that stops traffic is the cow, or should I say the sacred cow.
Although, considering it is regarded as holy enough not to become steak it is still treated poorly.
