"What is this weird (walmart) bag.... "
Bori looking apprehensive with onlookers of Aramita and Mariama
"Ahhahaha.....Isatou!! Aimee!! Oh, this is good so good, good, ohh I am so happy!!
Thank you, Thank you!! May Allah bring you goodluck and safety."
"Hey, Isatou, look at me....this bubbly wrap is so much fun... I can even wear it as a head wrap! Oh, Aimee is so silly...bubbly wrap."
Baboo, otherwise known as DAD, built this fancy little stand THE NEXT DAY!! Which is unbelievable to me because i've been asking him to fix my roof for 2 months and only did he do it when the rains came into my house. They are really grateful for the grinder.
Isn't this the sweetest little table you've ever seen!
Gambian's main crop is groundnut, similar to peanuts. But to grind them up into peanut butter or crush them for cooking purposes requires either alot of manual labor with a mortar and pestle or this fancy little hand machine. Before this one we had only one in the village for 34 compounds. Quite the waiting line for lunch preparation. They charge each woman about 3 dalasi, about 2 cents, to grind the nuts. They take the profits and save some for machine repairs and use the rest to buy food, cloths, ect. They also use it to grind fish to make fish balls (Justin really like's fish balls.)
Thank you Aimee
