A common scene is seeing men fishing to provide daily family nourishment. In this picture a father and his son work as a team to bring in a daily catch using their nets, much like the fishermen Jesus called to follow Him on the Sea of Galilee. Note the material for siding in their boat, variegated tin commonly used for roofing material or siding on some homes.
The construction process in this village employed the entire village, all cooperating together laying a foundation with hand mixed cement and concrete blocks, constructing walls with the usual studs, and a roof made of tin. The men worked in shifts except the experienced brick layer and carpenter--exhausted workers would take a break lying down in the kasawa field next to the building site, laughing and singing. The women joined together to prepare a feast for everyone and the guest missionaries from Kona, HI. Three churches all cooperated in this effort to build a residence for the leader's family of the Methodist Church.
