Sweeping the compound "I usually wake up around 5.30am. As soon as I’m awake, I start on the things I do every morning: I sweep our part of the compound, fetch water from the borehole with my sisters, then I might help my mother to prepare breakfast."
"We often have pumpuka for breakfast, it’s a sort of porridge made of roughly-ground millet. I help to serve the pumpuka into bowls and then my sisters, mother, and I sit down outside to eat it."
