This picture was taken of my fellow East Timor Volunteers and myseld in 2004 at a party hosted by one Volunteer's family. They asked us to sit at the head of the table as honored guests, then the ladies of the village brought out these skinny cooked chickens with their heads still on and propped up with chopsticks. We were exhausted from traveling to Sonya's site to visit her, but we put on brave faces, ate some chicken, and danced the night away with her host family and friends.
