Kingoti
Whose house is this?
![Meg\](http://bitterjug.com/wp-content/megshouse.jpg "Meg\")
It’s Meg’s (old) house.
Meg’s the PCV who lived up the road from Tala in a little place called Kingoti. Her neighbour Consemptor started a women’s group to do awareness raising work through dancing and tubling (acrobatics). Here she is taking control of the meeting that Katie and I went to see recently.
When we arrived the group was sitting under a tree …
…and being addressed by a local Elder Mama who wanted to see their certificate of registration as a community group. Then the local Chief arrived, it was turning into a bit of an impromotu ‘event’, but they soon began dancing.
Here is a movie of them doing acrobatics. (10MB .avi file)

Tahnks Nic, lovely to hear from ya.
I often dance about my house here when I’m on my own.
Usually, though, there is some suitable music, like Rockit by Herbie Hancock.
What were you playing?

Holy crap mark, you have my old house on your blog! It is so weird looking at a my front yard and all my Mama’s in a picture that wasn’t taken by me! I didn’t think I was so homesick for Kingoti, but i’m almost in tears so I guess I am. –Tell Kioko everyone is very impressed with his slingshot–
