How do you measure a year?
- Thunderstorms
- Sunrises
- Jars of peanut butter
- Cups of Cabanga (a drink made from ground fermented corn)
- Kilos of beans
- Cornmeal mush patties (the staple food in Mozambique)
- Boxes of matches
- Mangoes
- Burned meals
- Pumpkins
- Buckets of water
- Cockroaches
- Heads of cabbage
- Mataquenhas (friendly little creatures that nestle under the skin of your toes)
- Punctured soccer balls
- Students with confused expressions
- Minutes waiting for a ceremony to begin, a meeting to start, people to show up, transportation to arrive, internet to work, waiting, waiting, waiting…
Here's to another year full of minutes!
