1: “Cradle” (baby sleeping in a bilum, or a woven string bag)

2: Bathroom in the village (like an outhouse, but just a hole in the ground)

3: Shower (Bucket showers that we used during training. In the village we just used the river. In Ukarumpa, we have modern showers.)

4: Bush gas station (there are several stops like this along the highway in between cities to buy petrol)

5: Turtle eggs (boiled, to be eaten)

6: School bus (kids from a local high school piled in the back to come to Ukarumpa for a sports tournament)

7: Ambulance (used by our clinic to transport people if they can’t get to the clinic on their own)
