When we arrived at the village, we saw huts made from mud and straw. It was hard to believe that in today's society with advanced technology and science, people still live in a simple one-room hut with bare neccesities. They have no electricity, no running water, or any sewer system. One lady, Georgina, showed us her hut and kitchen. Inside the hut, she has a thin mat on the ground for sleeping, and piles of harvested peanuts. There were no tables, chairs, shelves, or other furniture.
Some people has a separate covered kitchen for cooking, others simply cook outdoors. They use wood, charcoal, or wood shavings as fuel. There are no refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, ovens or blenders.
A separete enclosure made of banana leaves is used for shower with collected rain water or water from a nearby well. Near the shower, is a simple outdoor latrine with no sewer system.
