Hard work...

The field before our work

As i write another day here, in the past weeks i've been in the little villages outside Bissora center knowing the vegetable gardens of the women. In one of these visits i get the chance to stay the all day working with them. The women and the chief of them received me very well. The presence of a white person there, really helping in the field is something to be noticed for them. After introductions i grab a hoe and started to work. Our goal was to divide the field in stonemasons were they can put different vegetables. After that the number of rectangles is counted and divided for the women that are part of the group. We worked a few hours all in the same rythim. For me it was hard working at the strong and bright sun of Africa but still joyful.

One of the most beautiful images that i'll take with me is the women diging and singing at the same time, making of the work a poetry beyond imagination.

I observe and smile in the presence of this magic.
