Each morning, we would arrive in Kauma village and begin in the Adziwa office. From there, one group would go to construction and the other would go to either the school or prayer walk. I loved walking to the school and prayer walking. We would begin walking down the red dirt road and the street would be lined with kids shouting, "Adzuku!" "Adzuku!" which means "white person." They were so excited to see white people and it was so funny to me. The kids would point at us and many would follow us all the way to the school and some would try to go to school for the day. Many would hold our hand all the way to the school and some would even fight over who could hold our hands. I remember one time while we were prayer walking the kids just kept chanting "Adzuku!" over and over again; it became almost a song!
