contemplating the difference between life here and home
here:
to have milk for breakfast means boiling the milk come fresh from the cow for 4 minutes, then waiting for it to cool so the cream can be scooped off the top.
fresh vegies for lunch means soaking them in iodine to rid them of bugs.
washing the dishes is only necessary if the house helper isn't coming before they're needed next.
going to bed involves tucking in a mosquito net around the mattress, with vigilent searching for mosquitoes who got in before you.
ministry here regularly involves discussions about money and death - not being able to afford anything from food to education, and in 2 days here we've heard of a recent car accident, a 2 yr old died of malaria, one student had 3 relatives die in a month, and that's only from talking to 3 people.
hierarchy affects life.
