Community Visit by NGO Part 1

Sunny Day



I'm back again! Let's recap a lil' bit. Afterall, a picture speaks a thousand words. Sit tight and enjoy the pics! (original pictures only)


3D2N community visit organized by a local NGO.


So, we arrived in the late evening on Friday. Exhausted and found ourselves a place to put up a night. 7 of 4WD altogether departed that very evening.


View from top of the hill where we stayed.

Busy packing our stuff at the community hall

Kids having drawing sessions

Some really cute kids waiting for us at the stairs. That lil girl next to me, Lisha was so outstanding and never fear of strangers. She's so courageous and confident at such tender age. Worth of a mention!


People slowly coming..
.

Unused clothes became wanted here. In fact, some looked new and clean. Abundant of them!


Lunch time. Common guys, let's eat. Fresh venison from the farm!


Ouch! He lost so many teeth at this age but never regretted.
.
.
Still wondering why people here like to have their teeth off. This lady said, it was hurtful to have broken tooth. So, she had 3 removed by her request! And wanted even more coz she couldn't bite the hardmeat due to the pain.
So, I teased her: if you have no more teeth, how are you going to even chew the hardmeat? You gonna swallow the whole thing rite?
She joked back: Yea, like a snake swallowing its food, hehe. (naughty)
.
.
This group of kids called me while I walked passed them. They wanted so much to be on the camera. So I told them: you people have to say cheeesssseee and peaceee.......(they did!)
.
Will post more tomorrow. Time to rest a lil bit. Wonder when am I going to unpack the stuff again.....
