The Cook House

Unlike our houses in Canada, national houses here are very different as you can imagine.  One of those differences is you have a separate house to cook in.  Since the cooking is all done over a fire they do not want this smoke in the place where they sleep.  Most buldings here are built up on stilts to allow for better air flow and to try to keep a few of the critters out but dispite this nationals have to rebuild their houses quite often.  The pictures below are of the boys helping a family demolish their old cook house so that they could build a new one.  The mom shared with me that it was very old, about 8 years old and was getting very unsafe. The boys had a blast helping to tear the house down!  It is always great to make friends while wrecking something.  Here the boys are with their buddy Judah and  his little sister Esther. 

Oh what a face of great concentration and power (or is that fear)
