It was early morning and already those people employed in the nearby town were gone to work, but most of the village people are either unemployed or shepherds. It is a tiny place with well scrubbed people and interested children. A small group of young men were playing a board game between huts. A woman was washing at the local water supply. There were beautiful crafts for sale at very low prices - so low that we were not inclined to bargain. These are not poor people. They are proud people with little in the way of possessions. But, they are rich in heritage and culture. They are rich in community life. Yet, the world is catching up and they are seeking to adapt. They will succeed.
