Documentary Scholarship Trip

Woken by the call to prayer I decide to head to the village mosque to record the sound and have a chat with eh muzzenein. He is this amazing looking guy with a beard-streaked white, red and black. Very friendly he talks to me about the village and how it has changed and how the Hindus and Muslims live happily together so close to the Pakistani borders. Some kids show me around their houses and a buffalo tries, unsuccessfully, to impale me on its horns. Back at the school the finishing touches are made before the kids and teachers thank us for the work we have done. Afternoon tea is taken at MP Singh’s house where some people have henna applied to the their hands and Trent and I interview MP Singh about camel safaris, the project and Jamba village. Dinner under the stars tonight and beers. Talk turns to camels and the art of riding them.
