Wow. :-D What co-ordination! I kept cringing every time the Pestle came down thinking that he was going to whack her hands off! lol! :)
Cassava and plantains with a pepper tomato sauce. Interesting combination indeed!
Do they use the plantains green or when they are ripe? I'd love to see the finished product - the eating with the tomato-pepper sauce video ;-)

Oh it is sad to see women (and indeed men) in this state.
I often wish I could pick them up and put them back together with a hug and a kiss.
Sadly in Montego Bay many of the street people have become mentally ill becaue of their addiction to drugs and no matter how many times they are dried out they still manage to end up right back on the streets. Those drugs have such a vicious hold on them...impossible to break. :(

You would be amazed at how fast these kinds of skin problems spread and then become ridiculously difficult to treat. It is indeed a pity that the baby suffers in the process.
Cultures are interesting things though. The conversation with this baby's mother might have been an interesting one.
Is it that she wants the child to remain in this state so that she can use the child's illness as a means of earning money (alms)? Is it that she is trying to treat the child with bush medicine? Is it that she doesn't have the money to do anything for the child?
It would be an interesting conversation because the child looks otherwise very healthy.
So what did you do to help to solve this particular problem?
Or did you just take the photo and walk away?
BTW : I'm sure you pass Africans everyday who have AIDS. The face of AIDS is changing my friend.

It may be hot as all heck in there but it does look like a nice room from the outside. Very clean and neat.
I wonder what the hole above the door is for though...maybe it's just decorative? Or to allow air to come in if you close all the windows and doors?

That purple vegetable looks like some kind of eggplant (aka garden egg).
In French I think it might be called "aubergine".
