"Loja do Chitengo"
Here is the team for "Loja do Chitengo" -- the Chitengo Gift Shop (l to r): Mane (head carpenter) , Maneca (assistant), Jose Carlos (or Zeca for short), and Sophia. Mane, Maneca, and Zeca have built all the shelving for the shop as well as secure storage trunks and cabinets for keeping the shop wares, and a wall to screen ff the area behind the shop, all out of locally-available bamboo. They work hard, they are friendly, and, most importantly, they put up with my Portuguese! We now have added a woman, Maria, to the team, and hope to train her to assist Natasha with the children's activities as well.
