Today was my first day in Monduli, a district nestled in the fertile Monduli mountains. Today also happened to be Sunday - the day in which there is big outdoor market in Monduli juu. Even though I arrived in the later afternoon, far after prime shopping time, there were still stand after stand displaying vegetables, baskets, clothes, and other day to day supplies.
Market day, of course, is not just about getting goods for the week. It's also about connecting with the community. I saw many empty-handed women, chatting with neighbors, passively perusing goods.We ran into a number of my friend's students - mainly boys walking hand-in-hand trying to spot some of their classmates and trade stories about their experiences taking the A-level exams and their plans after Form 4.
