no electricity supply. There ___3___ no
public transport at night. ___4___, the

no discipline ___6___. I had to ___7___ a set of living quarters with two others
and we had to cook our own meals. In the evenings and during weekends we went
fishing or ___9___ round the many

___9___ village folk respected ___10___ and made us feel wanted. I'll never forget
their warmth and kindness.
