New Experiences

Pika hiddin out in the garden.

Boilin some water for tea.

Pika had a wonderful time in Uganda, but is now glad to be back in Mundri. This last week he had the opportunity to learn more about how local people live here. A local kitchen is not like those in the U.S. with a stove, oven, refridgerator, and dishwasher. People here cook mostly outside using a fire and 3 stones or a local charcoal stove. Also every dish has to be washed by hand and all food eaten within the day or else it will go bad because of no refridgeration. Many people here also grow their own food in their gardens. People grow maize (corn), ground nuts, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and lots of other things. Pika was amazed at the effort that is put behind each meal every day and now appreciates more the luxuries he has had in the past.
