14. The literacy hut where the teaching goes on for the tribe

15. We were invited into one of the huts for a meal of cowcow (sweet potatoes), roasted corn, cucumbers and roasted bananas. We weren’t sure if we would like it but it was all really tasty. It was quite a feast, the people are gracious hosts.

16. Our gracious host. He assists the missionaries translating the scriptures to the tribal language.
