Today was an opportunity for us to split into two groups, partially imposed due to our visit to a Monastery in Masaba that is a sacred men’s site in which women are not permitted to enter. The conversations that occurred in each group gave us an opportunity to learn from our each other’s contexts and the context we are currently in. It also gave us the chance to discuss how some of our assumptions had been challenged since being here on the gender relations.
When we returned to our accommodation at Al Finnique we got straight into our circus and theatre training in preparation for our performance on the weekend. We spent a large portion of the night playing ‘Mafia’, a game taught to us by Kuong, that resulted in lots of giggles and fun.

Any description by one of those lucky males who went to the monestary about the experience there? :)
