Yesterday I spent the day in Isoko visiting with Enea. She has her 7 year old niece, Tulie, living with her. Tulies parents both passed away from AIDS, however thankfully, Tulie has tested negative. Her name means quiet in Swahili and it is a very fitting name! She is only 7 but she makes the best bread that I have ever had, and over charcoal no less. So yesterday I asked her to teach me how she does it. She was so excited to teach the white girl how to cook something! And she kept laughing at what Enea called my “American hands” (because I couldn’t pick up the red hot charcoals; thank goodness Tulie was there to help when something was too hot for me to touch!) And the loaf I made turned out almost as good as the one that Tulie made.
