During my lunch break, I showed Tante my dress design for the Swear-In ceremony. She gave me the impression that she is able to make it. It's not a big deal if it doesn't turn out exact. I don't have to pay for it, it gave me a chance to be creative and design my own outfit, it gives her practice making something new, and it made her happy that I chose her (why wouldn't I have?!) to make it.
Much more interesting afternoon class session....Moringa information. Moringa is a type of "miracle tree". Virtually every part of it can be used for food and contains a whole bunch of nutrients...including calcium! I really hope to do a sensibilization (a seminar) about this tree to my community. Not much of the foods here have a lot of nutrients in them.
