Part 7 "Vegetable Fridays"

Michelle writes:
On Fridays, we hand out mostly fresh and some frozen vegetables to more than 50 women from the area and a couple of men. 

When I distribute the green beans, I use both hands to grab a pile of beans from a laundry basket and put them in the plastic bag, cereal bag liner, or woven shawl that the woman has brought with her.

The huge bag of vegetables that each woman carries home on her head contains 2 large heads of lettuce, 2 plates (our measuring tool) of zucchini, 2 plates of frozen broccoli, 4 green peppers, some cilantro, a prepackaged bag of rice with soy protein, peas, carrots, patty pan squash.

Now, that's using your head!
