It's not just that I'm happy to see a female village chief; I would love this lady regardless of whether or not she was the chief. She's the happiest, sweetest little lady you'll ever meet.
Despite her small stature, petite build, and the fact that she's getting on in years, she jumps in and out of the back of our truck all day completely unassisisted (and rather more agiley than I), accompanying us to all the deliveries. Furthermore, she's always right there helping out when we assemble the water filters, always laughing and smiling. And on top of it all, she even takes the time to feed us. Needless to say, it's a pleasure to work alongside her!
