A while back I arranged for my 70th birthday celebration to be held in a local building close to our accomodation.
In the run up to this, the local family in the compound that we share presented me with the most beautifully prepared ornate rice and fruit plate.
It was a work of art and came as a total surprise.
They have done many favours for me, including at one stage managing to get me to a local hospital in a hurry, but this was the first instance of a physical gift from people who need to be careful with their finely balanced spend.
