This is Tibi, a regular at our gate! He rubs his tummy to let me know he's hungry. Peanut butter on bread is a favorite. Or he may need tools and help to fix his bike. He knows very little English, but we can communicate with him somewhat. Here he willingly helps with the dishes in exchange for a meal!

This is the main road in Hapria in the evening when the cows come home. Each cow knows where to go, its interesting to watch as they turn in at thier owners gate and the rest continue down the street. The cows are grazed on public grassland.
