Christmas 2021 in South East
Words can’t explain how this Christmas in the village felt for me and the kids.
From the beautiful harmattan to the kids enjoying the village lifestyle and learning new survival skills.
The first night we arrived I was so tired to do anything when Usonwanne asked that I help her make the fire to boil water for her night bath.
I told her to ask grandma to help and I slept off.
When I woke up in the morning and asked her how she was able to make the fire, she said, ” mum I don’t want to ask grandma, so I tried it out by putting the firewood together, using a piece of the carton with nylon to start the fire with matches and quickly placed it under the firewood. I tried it 3 times before the light finally came up”
I was so happy to hear how she survived ?.
From learning how to draw water from the well, and how palm oil is processed, to going into the farm with mama to get fresh scent leaf, ugu, bitter leaf or tomatoes was an experience they won’t forget quickly.
The younger ones even suggested they resume school in the village ?
For me, it was more than fun.
I will write my epistle soon.
I hope you enjoyed your holiday?
What happened??
