Interview Pole Pole

Today I did another 3 interviews, putting my current total up to 13!  Tomorrow marks the halfway point of our data collection, I think.  I also think that my project is sitting pretty, I feel good and confident that the information I have received is quality.  Today for one of my interviews I travelled once again to the village of Oltukai off the beaten path.  When I say village I mean a scattering of Boma compounds, one for each family, littered throughout the dry Savannah.  There are trees, scattered about the landscape with the occasional Baobob dominating the view from the dusty pathway upon which our land rover travelled.  The Boma we travelled to this time had just recently slaughtered one of their sacred cows in honor of the upcoming Warrior’s Initiation and the Rite of Circumcision.  Needless to say the woman I interviewed there was all smiles.

I felt wholly welcome as my translator Leboy led me out of the hot dry sun into the shockingly dark inside of her windowless home.  Well, there was a tiny slit through the plastered wall that I was ushered to sit in front of, but it did not offer very much sunlight.  It took my eyes a minute or tow to adjust to the absence of light while the kids scattered out of the one room.  The mama was open to the interview after I explained my purpose here and asked many questions to me—about my life, my mother, and even if I was circumcised myself.  I felt completely at peace and that I had no reason to rush.  I just felt happy and content, no need to stress.  Pole pole (which means ‘slowly slowly’ in Kiswahili), pronounced Pole-eh Pole-eh.
