Blog entry for May 18, 2014
Greetings from the Hinterland! Laluni is sand, coconut
palms, passion fruit trees, papaya, hot sun but cooling breezes, bats, ants,
sand fleas, and a warm welcoming community. Musical sounds swell from each of
the two churches that flank my host family’s house, while across the street a
cricket match is in progress. Laluni residents love cricket as well as
volleyball. They love to eat and share snippets of their day around the dinner
table. Their dinner tables remind me so much of Kodiak. They have a rich
variety of foods most of it grown or raised right here in the immediate area.
People are more than happy to offer you a plate of food and a little extra to
take home.
Laluni Primary (Nursery to 6th) is where I spend
a few days a week. It’s a challenge to remember all the unfamiliar names and faces.
The children talk very quietly but always have a huge smile on their faces
especially for the PC volunteers.
This is a gentle safe community and I am 8 weeks Guyanese,
just a baby.
