Wow, our homestay was amazing - simly put. Jaime and I stayed with Mama Tajiri. Her husband had given her another anme, Naalakuina, and she immediately adopted Jaime and me as her additional children. Our translator and friend for the stay was Nemama, a young woman who wants to become a doctor and travel the world.
Jaime and I tried to teach duck duck goose to the children, and while the actual game itself didn't go so well, everyone (us included!) had a wonderful time laughing and running around. Because the rain had not been so good, it took a while for the cattle and goats to come back to the boma, but once they did, we were given the chance to try and milk the cattle and goats. It took a bit of effort, but Jaime and I both helped out a little bit :)

Thanks for posting this Kiyoko! Do you have any details for organising a stay here please? I would very much appreciate it if you do.
This was done through the organizers of the field study, and it's been several years so wouldn't know how to organize one. Sorry!
