The Fulani women pound grain into flour everyday! I try to help when I can, but they usually will not let me for long. They refuse because 1) they like my soft hands and 2) frankly, i am not very good at it. I have gotten better over the year but still I spill the millet often.

I love to participate with them and be part of their daily life. Can you imagine doing this each day?
