Photos from our lives in Abéché
When teaching about the wheat and chaff to people in America it is normally necessary to explain the cultural significance. Here in Chad it is just a part of life. Our neighbor and language helper, Abbo, has a field about 25km outside the city where he plants peanuts but first he needed to shell two large sacks. Easy enough - we went outside his home a set out a mat in the road between our homes and used the windy day to his benefit. Only sad thing is I wanted to go with him to help plant in his field but it didn't work out. Maybe next time.
