Cooking class on the corner

We recently made pizza at our cooking class on the corner. This was quite a lesson since we had to do everything from crust, sauce, and baking all from scratch and on a charcoal cooker. This was a new taste for them also because not a single one had ever eaten pizza, they even had lots of trouble saying PIZZA. We have lots of fun visiting while things are cooking, but the ideal thing would be to have a Bible study while we wait. When we come back in May we are going to let them do the cooking. Each student will choose a recipe and they will have to cook it. We will provide the ingredients for them, but they seem to be excited about the prospect of cooking. They called it their "test". Our pr@yer is that one day this will lead to them asking questions about more than cooking.

Terry & Harry and the Jogoo

Terry & Harry and the Jogoo kind of sounds like a musical group, but a jogoo is a rooster. Harry is one of our peace corp volunteers and he came to Kondoa to get two roosters for his project in the village. You can also see Terry making a waterer for Harry to take back to the village with him. We try to always do things that are reproducible with what the people have locally.

Terry makes a chicken waterer

Recently, on the corner, Terry was teaching how to make a chicken waterer from large plastic water bottles. He used a large 12 liter bottle for the bottom, cutting the top off and making a tray to hold the water and a smaller 6 liter for the water storage. You put a few holes in the top bottle and it lets the water fall down into the bottom tray until it is filled, then the chickens can drink from the bottom tray. It keeps the chickens out of the water and keeps the water cleaner.

One of our peace corp volunteers was here last week getting some roosters for his project in a village and they made the waterer. This is something Terry learned as a young boy at his grandparents farm.
