Maramane Family Party

Our dear host mother, Matlhogonolo, just came out of mourning for her late husband this weekend, so we were privy to a joyous family celebration. The family drank a 55 gallon drum of homemade “bojalwa” (traditional beer), Owen helped slaughter a goat (by the light of cell phones), and Becky made “magwinya” (fat cakes) over the fire.

This week, we were up in “Kalanga land” in northeast Botswana, job shadowing two current Peace Corps clinic and District Health Management workers. Thank you, Dan and Leah, for giving us great insight into service- and spoiling us tremendously! Pictures are coming soon…
