Obstacles

Today we concluded our third day of work--9 hours so far. S has a serious fear of risk taking alone and a fear of failure. K didn't show up today and we found out she was at the dentist. L had to go to the consulate to see about a VISA to Turkey. I and A and S said they do not have any older relatives who know any folktales. The older lady we were supposed to go and see today ended up going to the village with her daughter...S.O knows many folktales and told us two today. She said we might be able to go to her village and visit her grandmother etc. I am looking into ways we can perform not only in Bejaia but also in surrounding villages at youth centers and other small theatre's. Maybe that is how we will reach and inspire more people. My goal of reviving the tradition of the folktale seems a bit far fetched now...but hopefully this project will be a way of transmiting the stories in another way...

And we keep marching on...
