So drum working has been pretty interesting. each day i go to allissan's house and he teaches me a new step and then i try to do it. example, yesterday we did drawings on all the drums...like drawing these african huts and african back scenes...(these djembes are for tourists) he showed me how he likes them done and then i did some.

i don't want to fight malaria w/moustiquaires...i don't even use one myself. i was just using them as an example that other people reading this would understand, ya know? only an example. no public intervention can focus itself mainly on just one thing. i mean if you want to give a pop. nets, you have to also have the resources to educate them on the importance and help them, and the time and patience...but really i don't see the nets as being useful here...i mean if everyone slept under a net every night for the rest of their lives the malaria rate would decrease for sure. but. if i ate according to the food triangle by the fda and stopped drinking and lived as far from pollution for the rest of my life i'd die ten years later than i will now. but. it's not my culture and not how i want to live. i think that's a very bad bad analogy. but i think you understand...or i hope you do! =) others might not...
Here. i'm for doing what you can to save people from disease, epidemics, genocidal governments, it's hard to explain b/c it's an ethics thing. case by case basis. but i'm for not messing with peoples ideas and ways of life as much as possible b/c that reverses what you want to happen. we should have a real chat about this! hehe i'll be through the ATL some point before school starts back again...prob july/august ish.
