Robe took us to get firewood! She has taught us so much! Our Ayo (mom) has a sore foot and needed firewood... and since her daughters are in bording school she had no one to get wood for her. So we said we would go. Where? How? We had to ask Robe to show us! It was a fun 4 hr outing, we got home past dark but that is the best time to be walking because it is less hot!
Robe, Myself, Dub and Barille ready to head back.
Barille in search of a 'tooth brush' - a special soft stick that works well for cleaning teeth!
It is so beautiful out there! This is one of the "ollas" (villages) just a half hour walk from Kalacha.
Dub climbing the thorn trees in barefeet in search of dead branches to chop off. He did most of the work while we were out there, and then its the ladies job to carry the wood home.
Barbara and Dub gathering some wood that he had just chopped off of the trees.
Barille's first time using a camera... allthough he did get us all in!
Barbara's B-day! YAY! celebration out in the desert for a picnic and sunset watching!
The kids having fun on the "big toy" out at our Chalbi picnic!
Barbara and I came to help with the food preparation for the new house celebration... but we ended up just watching. And we discovered that the i-pod can plug into thier home made sterio sysetm!!! the wrecked speaker form an old sterio is used somehow and then a hole in the lid of a bucket is used as a sort of sub woofer to provide base! amazing!
We had a Christian celebration for this family's new house, a new thing that we weren't really sure what it should look like... but food, music, prayers, blessing, songs and a nice time together was all involved!
Little Jillo helping me with laundry!
A shepherd and his camles by Kalacha Dida.
Camel shots are hard to get because here taking a pic of someones camel is to steal their blood. Lets just say it makes for some creative photography, or many times no pics at all!

I was able to get these shots because we helped the shepherd by driving out the camel eye doctor who sucks thorns our of camels eyes with his mouth. yuck, but amazing to watch!
