On my Right is D'Jemble, a Tikar brother who brought me lots of water and biscuits to eat. On my left is Martin, I stayed in a house attached to his hut, he brought me hot water to bathe in every morning and gave me the shakers I am holding. The others are children I met and laughed with while in the village.
