Uniquely resourceful!

Something that has always struck me about African's is their incredible resourcefulness. I have seen some amazing examples of this during my time in Nigeria - Using a rock as a hammer to put up a mosquito net, turning plastic garden chairs into wheelchairs, breaking flip-flops in half to support some parts under the bonnet of a car, turning an abandoned overturned lorry into a shop! We have a lot to learn from our African brothers and sisters! I often wonder how we would cope in the West if we didn't have all the resources that are so freely available to us.

We caught this car on camera on our journey back from Kagoro on Sunday. Apparently this is what to do when your rear window is about to fall out! - just stick it with some tape! This isn't something you see everyday!
