Civilization or deprivation?
The machine that you are looking at is a brick breaking machine. You feed the whole bricks in and get little fragments out of the other side. The crazy thing about this system is that first the bricks have to be made in order to be broken. The brick fields are big open places where men shape the clay in little tin boxes and then dump them out again to be dried in the sun. After drying they are put into dug outs to be heated up with underground fires. You can see little smokestacks and chimney that are attached to the ground, billowing with smoke. It looks odd. The bricks are carried back and forth and then loaded on the trucks all by hand.

Harvesting of sweet potatoes
Here are some of the sweet potatoes that Genodoe has harvested from his crop. I never knew that sweet potatoes that are planted in sand are brown color and ones planted in soil are purple (or was it the other way around?). Anyways we are proud of our farmers who work hard in the HOT Bengali sun for the benefit of all. Also we have corn stalks growing in the garden right now and hope to have sweet corn soon. The picture is of Nobien in his garden.
