January video
A quick video update so you can see our faces and some scenes from life here in Kovol.
Christmas break
e took a week’s break for Christmas, and better late than never on Jan 16 it’s time to write about it! We spent Christmas in Kovol, attempting to hide in our house as much as possible to get away from “work” which is learning the Kovol language.
I say as much as possible because there is always a steady stream of opportunities for community engagement. For example, a friend came to us in the evening on the very first day of our break to report that a lady had given birth in the village, but that the baby wasn’t nursing and hadn’t been for a full day. This was concerning, but we didn’t think we could do anything for the little one and decided to wait till morning to check it out. We didn’t have formula we can give, and we couldn’t think of anything we could do, the only option was for the little one to work it out on their own.
