On Wednesday Madam Samali invited us to her house, across the compound, for dinner.Sitting in our house we saw her walk past all dressed up in a glittery top and skirt. It was really sweet, so we all got changed into jeans and tops. Madam Samali greeted us all with hugs, "We are here as you are leaving us, I have cooked us dinner and we have pineapple juice"Our side of the compound has two rooms but the upper half are only one roomed houses.
