enjoyed being in a place where there was no arrogance or self-centrism. The<br />
head of the village was sleeping on the floor at midday under the shadow of a<br />
tree while others were talking in a session-like meeting–an image now ingrained<br />
in my mind. Another thing notable was that men did not wear underwear; adults<br />
were covering themselves with a special cover that I even used on my regular<br />
clothes while boys, they even did not have a cover at all.<br />

In warrior camps, men above the age of seven<br />
had one meal consisting of milk and blood<br />
from the cows. That one meal was enough for<br />
them, as they believed it made them strong.<br />
Further shocking was the lack of a roof–even<br />
their cows, goats, and cattle had ceilings, but<br />
people did not. During one particular night there was heavy rain, yet the warriors<br />
kept sleeping. Puzzled, I asked my translator what their plan was, to which he<br />
responded, “Nothing! We are happy that the rain is coming. It helps us provide<br />
food for our cattle so we do not run away! We are happy!” And they kept sleeping<br />
as the rain continued.<br />
During my time at the warrior camps, I had some opportunities to talk with locals.<br />
I was curious about how much knowledge they have about the rest of their<br />
country and the world. Essentially, they had no understanding of the outside, for<br />
instance, they were unaware of the current president and the existence of the<br />
COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, I was not allowed to use masks as it could be a<br />
source of misinterpretation and show disrespect.<br />
