Meet Daliso

Meet Daliso. He is my little helper who lives at Chikumbuso with his mother. I don’t know his full story yet but I know his mother is a widow. He is always so happy to see me and will run across the lot to greet me. 🙂 He is always their to lend a helping hand, carrying a paint bucket or moving some pipe so I can’t find it. He likes to pull out what little hair I have on my legs off so I know he’s there.

One day, we were sitting around and he wanted to play with my phone. I turned on the camera and I do believe this is the first time he had ever seen himself. So crazy to think but not all people here have mirrors! This is not as uncommon as you would think. I kept explaining to him that it was him in the picture and, as he was pointing the camera at himself, he realized it was him. Such a cool thing to experience.
