Our village specialized inΒ ‘bageda’…sweet potatoes.
After harvesting, we would bring themΒ to the market and trade themΒ for maize.
Although only Hanitra and Puppydoc are pictured above…

…the entire family worked very hard.

On my first day of walking to work at the hospital,
I met a group of children who would end up becomingΒ my daily escorts.
This was a moment captured while the vigilant residents
inspected my suspicious-looking digital device.

…it is no lie that each dayΒ was still a struggle.

When Puppydoc first arrived at herΒ new home,
the villagers were a tadΒ bashful…

…but this issue resolved itself rather quickly.
