Week #4

Due to lack of rain, the people were unable to plant their crops. So now, instead of taking care of their fields everyone is busy with "downtime" kind of work. 

These girls are pounding rice off the stalk. Its a long, hard process...not what I would consider "downtime" work.



Those who could also harvested coffee beans to roast and take out to a nearby town to sell.

Shannon was kept super busy being wife, mom and culinary arts teacher. Here she is teaching her helper how to make bread.


Jessica came from Canada to teach the Talbot children, but she also helped out anywhere she could.






No, Mom, I am most definitely NOT standing on a rickety plank suspended between two rickety stacks of lumber...I would never do that. :)

Miraculously, I managed to not drill a hole through my foot. Thankfully, X marks the spot.
