Inside the hut

Upon Dad's request...







From bottom to top:
1. This is where I sleep, though I put the mosquito net down at night. And whoops, I left my underwear out hanging to dry. My host mom washes my clothes but its not really right to give someone your own underwear to wash, so I do that myself and it dries out of the view of the public eye.
2. My bookshelf and pictures of all you guys.
3. My desk and my "closet" (a large piece of plastic and some nails. I also have a small trunk where I keep shirts and stuff
4. Here is my kitchen/ storage area.
5. My kitchen counter table. It is covered in plastic. The big white thing is my water filter, and the small white box is my stove. I carry water in from the well in the large green bucket and dump it in periodically when I need water, then I treat it with bleach. The purple bucket is fresh peanut butter I buy at the market.

Now the home didn't come furnished mind you. All tables and shelves were handmade by carpenters in Kati, transported the 18 miles to Dombila by brush bus and donkey cart, compliments of my awesome host dad, Daramane

I spared you pictures of the "negen". Think hole-in-the-ground and there you go.
Not the fanciest of homes, but I like it. I actually don't spend too much time inside, but rather take out my chair or mat and sit under my hanger.
