So, I’ve been biking. A lot. For proof, I have taken a
picture of the bikes AND a picture of Mohamed biking. Sorry, I don’t do selfies when bike riding because I fear
for running into snakes, rocks, and little kids. 3 out of those 3 things have
occurred. But, FYI: no one was injured. Also, for those of you laughing because I'm soooo far behind Mohamed as he bikes, that was on purpose (sometimes) haha! The bike I was given to use has no breaks, so I get to stop Fred Flintstone-style every time! This kinda explains why running into snakes, rocks, and children occurred haha!
On one of these biking excursions from the EAC headquarters
to the village of Vuma (more on this later), Mohamed’s bike wheel shield thing
became unscrewed and kept hitting the wheel. At first we tried to look in the
nearby area’s floor for some sort of string or something to hold it up, but we
couldn’t find anything of use. We almost resorted to using my hair tie (after
this event, I now carry 2 hair ties just in case I need to use one of them for
a different reason) haha!
BUT—I had a brilliant idea!
One of the outreach programs we were doing in Vuma was
passing out condoms to the quarry mine workers while also debriefing them on
the dangers of HIV/AIDS and how HIV/AIDS testing and counseling will be
conducted by us with the help of others next month. Sooo…back to my super stellar
idea…we used a condom to tie up the wheel shield thing on the bike! And the
shield thing has not fallen down since…lol haha YAY!
You’re all welcome for this extraordinary story.
I think someone should contact the condom manufacturers to tell them about all the potential uses they aren't exploiting! lol.
