Visit to Kenema

Kenema is a city north of Bo. It is a major hub for the towns and villages in the provinces. There is a large market where people from the villages come to sell their produce and also buy what they need.

Bush meat.
Dried crab
Colorful produce
Kola Nuts

There is a Catholic school here with expansive grounds. The children love to see us white people. They call out “Pumway, pumway” (white man). The boys really wanted to be in a photo with us!

Kadiatu buys us coconuts to drink the water. We have a laugh at Tim and my attempts at drinking straight from the coconut!

The major mode of public transport in Kenema and Bo are motorbikes.

      That was the problem! No straw. Kadiatu took pity on me and stopped at a market to buy a straw!
