June Early-Mid

Nagalama

We teach business classes in several villages. In Nagalama, we are working with a group of women in the village to start up a business making/selling reusable female hygiene pads. (Not sure what else to call them, this isn't really my area of expertise. It's been an interesting summer as far as learning more about girl stuff than I knew previously)

We went to Nagalama on this day to learn/teach how to make the products.

I took this picture while riding on the back of a boda boda (motorcycle taxi). Pictured here are Stewart and Rebecca and their boda boda driver. It is a pretty long motorcycle ride to Nagalama. This part isn't very pretty but much of the ride is unbelievably beautiful. 


Yours truly putting my skills to the test. The ladies were all laughing when they saw me trying to sew. No one was laughing when the saw how good I did.... Boo yeah... I knew learning to sew in 8th grade arts and crafts  class would come in handy someday.
