Wednesday 16th - Kuku I'm looking at a cockerel (kuku) sitting silently with it's feet bound in the corner of my room, a sad sight at the end of an extraordinary day. This morning it looked like there was a harvest festival - the children were bringing oranges, eggs, advocados, half a branch of bananas, sugarcane, maize, plantain, biscuits and more. Richard asked me if I liked 'meat of hen' (on reflection maybe I should of said no) Anyway Caroline was at school 3 times today and after the last lesson she said that James (the head teacher), Richard & Peter (the other teachers) all wanted us to wait.The children lined up as usual in the yard and Caroline asked if I had my camera. Have you guessed yet? I hadn't - the harvest was for me!! buckets and sacks full. I was simply dumbstruck - overwhelmed. The head instructed the children to hand the bounty over to me bucket by bucket, sack by sack. Caro took pictures - I could hardly hold the branch of banans.It was all to welcome me to the school !!I managed to hold the tears back until I got back into the teacher's office. I said to caroline how hard it was to accept such an amount of food from hungry children in bare feet, she said they won't be barefoot next week when we hand out the yebo yebos, and we now have the 4 (live) goats for the big meal saturday 2nd June (tomorrow as I type).
