But Nick has been getting out and about a little more with some of the guys I am working with. There are places they will take me and not Nick - women's groups etc. And Nick experienced some secret men's business in a granite quarry earlier in the week.
This is an area where there is a lot of community development work happening because a majority of the workers in this quarry are in some way bonded into labour - essentially modern slavery based on debt owing to employers who pay them so little they will never be free of the debt. The work is tough, and conditions are harsh and dangerous. Some people take their kids to work with them in the quarry each day.
Nick's photos are on flickr but these are some he hasnt put on flickr...
People hiding under a truck in anticipation of the impending blast:
And then the blast. Note Nick is not under a truck. Anything for a photo!
But he lived to tell the tale.
See ya.
