Neighborhood scenery

This evening I delivered a watermelon to my site mate, Tamar.  We decided to use the opportunity to capture a few photos of the moment.

A few of Tamar's neighborhood kids

Far top left: The edge of the local Islamic school building.

Top left: Smoke from the trash that is burning directly below the cloud.

Next to the smoke: Ali, Tamar's neighbor who gave her a quick 101 this evening on how the immediate neighborhood handles its trash.  The trash is burned once a week, here in this potion of the field.

Distance to the left: Neighborhood homes, and between the homes and the school is a soccer field.  The soccer goals are composed by three logs. 

Distance to the right: More neighborhood homes.

Immediate right: Tamar's house, and the wall that encloses the "compound" in which she lives.  A "compound" sometimes includes one home, or more.  In this case, the compound includes about six separate smaller/apartment-sized homes.  These six homes share one well of water, a few clotheslines, and a concrete area.  This compound contains all of the essentials, is extremely well kept, and is relatively modern.

Immediate center: Sarah attempting to encourage beautiful young children to smile, with our teeth, when having a picture taken.  Local children laughing at, or perhaps being scared of, Sarah.
