An old tradition of cleansing.


This was a very interesting hour spent in this building made of bamboo poles and a thatched roof. Two indigenous gentlemen asked for volunteers to show the custom their two different tribes use to cleanse people. Here the gentlemen is waving the plant over her while chanting the whole time. He was smoking his cigarette as though he was blowing away her sins. Maybe we could use this as a good missionary tool.
