photos - visitors - paulna's village - bonnette

This morning we brought Paulna to stay with her family for a few days. Her brother Paulno went with us to show the visitors from Canada their village. This is the "kay loa" (spirit house). The villagers built this house for the spirits to live in with the hope of keeping the spirits happy and content. It is one of the biggest and best built houses in the entire village!


The village is in an arid area and there are a lot of cactus growing around the village. From left to right are Bill, Paulno and Tim.


When we got back to Paulna's house she was already hard at work pounding rice to loosen the chaff.


Tim wanted to help and he got some lessons from the children.



Once Tim knew what he was doing Bill helped out as well.They were the entertainment for the children of the village!
