Yesterday was one child team member's eighth birthday. She had a medieval themed party and was dressed as a princess. They wanted to have all the children dress up, and I love costuming, so I got to do what I love, and it helped the children dress up for the party! And the grown-ups dressed up too....not bad for a curtain, huh?
Also, earlier in the day, I harvested coffee beans! I wore some loose clothes to try to stay cool, but also protect against the crazy ants that swarm on the coffee trees. I didn't get bit hardly, but only because I was vigilant to get them off of me quickly.
Afterwards, I helped shell the coffee for a bit. Heidi, our agriforestry team member, is working on processing them. Some of them are being dried, and some have to be fermented first. After a while, we will have our own coffee! Talk about free trade... you know it is not exploiting people if you harvested it yourself!
