We finished up our workshop today, which was meant to train some trainers who will train some teachers who will work in some pastoralist cattle camp mobile schools. It's quite an exciting thing to be a part of actually. I just hope it all gets off the ground in a good way. They were a good group, though, and I think they got some good stuff out of the workshop. But it all comes back to the cows. Everything we talked about - theme webs, curriculum, stories, materials, even how to make chalkboards using cow-hides... it was all cows.
And of course, this afternoon, when the big guy came for the closing ceremony of the workshop, it didn't take long for the conversation to move around to how many cows were needed for my hand in marriage. How much was I worth today? Well, I got an offer of 200 cows today. Dad, what do you think about that offer?
