What is the most difficult thing so far, and why?
Grinding the wheat because you have to have big muscles and I'm so skinny.
What is the best thing so far and why?
Playing board games and enjoying myself (Ed. Although he's spent most of the day complaining how boring it is!)
What is the most interesting thing so far and why?
Making butter and non fat milk (whey) because it made whipped cream first, then butter, and all you have to do is shake it.
What do you miss the most?
I miss computer games because I like computer games, but this was better.
Hamish.
What is the most difficult thing so far, and why?
Shaking the cream to get butter.
What is the best thing so far and why?
Eating the flat bread, because it was tasty and different.
What is the most interesting thing so far and why?
Making flour because it's so cool mushing and scrunching it and I like it.
What do you miss the most?
TV
Alex.
What is the most difficult thing so far, and why?
Pounding flour, oh my arms!
What is the best thing so far and why?
Time has zoomed by, being so busy doing preparation, and having to heat water on the stove etcetera.
What is the most interesting thing so far and why?
Realising how much we take for granted.
What do you miss the most?
Access to information, by far! It has been a real challenge so far, much more than I anticipated. Normally when any question comes up in my own head, I Google it, Wikipedia it,so my head is full of unanswered questions, and I don't like it! *stomps feet* There has been a fair amount of guesswork with cooking/recipes,and I just hate NOT KNOWING!
It is no surprise really, that education is considered the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, and those people have so little access to it. If they can access education, their time is limited due to working so hard, or caring for the rest of their family, particularly families ripped apart by death. AIDS, malaria, malnutrition mean that older children often look after younger siblings, or have to work because their grandparent is physically unable to.
I think the BEST thing so far is actually the fact I only have to do this till Sunday night. And I get to go to Tafe on Monday morning.
