Tikki Huts

John, the business manager, surprised Mama Arlene by building her these two Tikki Huts while Mama went to America for a visit. They are beautiful buildings. The enclosed one holds beautiful crafts from local artists. They are for sale and Andria has her eye on a few items. The second one is an open air ramada where they sometimes have spontaneous choir practice (like they did tonight before dinner) or chapel. The clothes lying on the ground is the way they dry some of their laundry. The whole campus (5 acres) is landscaped like a resort! Flowers, shrubs and trees are everywhere. Mama has hired locals to help care for the landscape that John has designed. The average wage is $1.40/day for day laborers. Huge avacodo trees are everywhere so we have them at almost every meal.
