Wednesday

Today we were back at Djt for the eye clinic. We visited in several compounds. F was able to talk to the local religious leader. Our favorite visit was to the mother of twins. We spent the afternoon with her and her friends. She is the mother of eight. The youngest are the twins, Adam and Eve, who are a month old. Her husband is in prison. It is extremely hot and dry. The boys that I enjoyed last year were not there. Many of the boys were out in the bush where they were under going their rite of passage. The kangkurao was wandering around the village as we left. It is a demon-spirit in which a mask-wearer covers his entire body with blood-read bark. All the children were running and hiding.Tomorrow we are off to another village.
