It was also a great blessing to have my brother Tim visit for a week. Tim works for Worldwide Christian Schools and came down with one of the WCS teams. I was able to spend several evenings with him. It was fun to compare and contrast Nicaragua to Zambia. Perhaps Nicaragua will grow on Tim enough for a return visit.
I learned from Tim that an African custom is to bring a chicken to honor the leader in a village. So, Tim wanted to bring a chicken when we went to visit a Nicaraguan family. There are lots of chickens around but can you really just scoop one off the road and keep driving? Not when its the food of a family who doesn't have a lot to begin with. We stopped at a random home on the side of the road and asked the people if we could buy one of their chickens. They were very kind about our strange request and soon we were off again with a chicken in the car. Below is Tim presenting his chicken and explaining the Zambian tradition.
