Goat Roasting

Children playing in a stream on our way to Cet Kana.

Recently, Aid Africa completed the construction of a sheltered spring in the village Cet Kana.  Tradition called for a celebration.  Aid Africa bought the goat, and the village women cooked us a feast.  This sheltered spring was funded by Erika's hair salon and her friends and family in Germany.  Erica is second on my left.  She has just recently returned to Germany, and we all miss her greatly.

When we first arrived to Cet Kana, there was some distress in the village.  The previous night, a man had come through their village and burned a hut occupied by three young children. Their mother (the man's ex-wife) and the father were out for the evening. The burning grass thatch roof collapsed and all three children burned to death.  He was caught and put in jail, but everyone near and far was upset.  It took awhile to get the food and festivities going.  

This is the goat BEFORE the roasting. 
This is another picture of the same goat.

And again, this is another picture of the same goat, but cooked.  It's actually very tasty. :)
Another day, another adventure with friends.
