Nasivi





Two weeks ago I taught fitness to the women of Nasivi. This was probably one of my favorite villages yet. The women were so excited and willing to learn. Here they are doing the plank. For most of the women this is their first time doing any sort of strength exercise, so it is a hoot to be with them and teach them. After exercising they fed us a feast of curries, roti, dhal, rice, and cassava. Then they had us take a nap. Does life get any better?  
Whenever people prepare food for us they do something I would never have the patience to do. They sit aside and watch us eat till we are completely done. Only after making sure we have had plenty (as in third and fourth servings) do they begin to serve themselves. The people here are so remarkably generous and kind.
