Mama Helen cooking rice for the Family on the ground, as there's no kitchen at their place - all cooking takes place on the ground - on the sand at the beach, over a coco wood fire - that's how they have to live, and never a complaint about it either.

LittleFish has texted me that Mama Helen gave birth to a son named Mark, on June 23, 2007 - they're both doing ok, and I'm very anxious to see them & the new baby when I get back there in November 2007.

One of my favorite images of Mama Helen is above, with her daughter's head on her stomach.

Thanks for reading tonight,
