Pictures of Training Farewells

I am able to get some fast internet today so I will add some pictures to the blog.





This is a the walk to our training site on a typical day. The local high school was next to the training site so we walked along with all the local teenagers.




At the end of our training our homestay family threw a braai (barbeque) in our honor. This is a picture of the "Pink Palace", our home stay residence on the day of the braai, party goers are milling about.



This is another picture of people at the braai. These are members of our homestay family.



Susan helping prepare some of the braai fixin's.



A meal is not a meal without a helping of ipalishi = pap = corn meal mush = grits. Here it is prepared over an open fire in a 3 gallon traditional 3-legged pot. (Usually seen in the USA in cartoons with a missionary being prepared as stew)


This is a picture taken at the farewell party the Peace Corps Trainees gave to honor our homestay families. The lady seated is our homestay mother and the man on the left is the oldest of our homestay brothers.






We had traditional dancers at the farewell party.
