Culture Club


Today Santino called me Kawaja in rounds. I explained to him that Kawajas don't like being called Kawaja. He explained how during the war, Kawajas came from MSF and other NGOs and saved the people and that Kawaja is a term of endearment for the help the Kawajas gave when the people had no homes or food or living relatives and all hope was lost. Wow. I feel bad.
