project oasis: day 2

Things have been going well on the OASIS front. I've cooked more in the last week than I have in the past few months! I consider that in itself a major victory. I'm still not very good at lighting fires though; I nearly run through an entire box of matches each time I attempt to start up the charcoal jiko.


Also, one of the walls in my house has seen a paint job, and a rather unorthodox one at that. It was inspired by one of the volunteers I shadowed during training; one of her walls was painted like this. If you can figure out why I painted the wall the way I did, leave your best guess in a comment. I'll reveal the answer next week, hopefully with another video.

  1. The videos are terrific. Thanks for giving us a tour of your "oasis." Good to see you have helpers. I imagine they were the ones we heard you talking to on Sunday. I will give the black area some thought and give a guess later. For now, love peace and joy, my son. As Carl Moran would say, "you are doing good work."

  2. My guess... magnetic and/or chalkboard paint so you can use it to teach the village kids some things when they stop by your house.

  5. OK, since the obvious blackboard answer has been given, I'll go a stretch and say you're going to post all of your favorite pictures there!!!
