Passing on the Gift

We had the pleasure to return to Boroc Village for a gift ceremony. Basically this means that a charity project is set up where a female animal is given to someone in the village and after a number of years the offspring is passed on to somebody else. In this case a Hen and a Goat was passed on. We enjoy this beautiful simple logic of wealth redistribution. There was also a feeding ceremony in which kids receive local vegetarian food. We spent half a day observing this and speaking to the kids and just about managed to convince them that these two "canos" are actually Scandinavian. Boroc is quite reduced in terms of material welfare but regardless its undeniably pretty. If we do get the opportunity to work on a women's rescue center here (as discussed with RDI) we are ready without hesitation.
