It was a interesting weekend. We were invited to a wedding by the team that is working with Concept Society (Anika, Jessica and Tyler). The truth is they were invited by the main of the farmer land which they are working with.

It was very impressive to arrive to the place, because I couldn't imagine how this would be. I got there by  car, with a lady from the ONG that is working with Concept Society team. The wedding was in a rural area, so the way to there was like an adventure, because the road did not have any signal neither lights and something that scared me was the road was plenty of old cars without any lights on it. Also the drivers are very disrespectful when they try to pass other cars on the route, they just cross to the other carril and go ahead against the traffic, does not matter if your are there or not.

Finally we arrive to the place and It was really exciting, because why meet the Fader's Bride and of corse I told him something in Indi, the man was very surprised. Then we start coming into the yard were the ceremony toke place, Everything was decorated very nice.

As we come in, I sow many lines of people seating in the ground forming large lines, All there were guest invited, all of them live in that community. Here you have some photos of the entrance and also a film that show the people eating seating in the ground.

This video show how the food is served to the invited guest. Later we also had some food seated in the ground, but  It is important to mention the Farm Main offer us to be seated in a chair, of corse we do did not accept that and decided to have food in the same way others did.

As we was geting into the yard, were the wedding toke place, lot of people come to us and start offering food and asking to get photos with us.

Most of the guest invited was were seated and the food was served. There was a complicated moment for some members of the team due one on the person that was serving food, starting put food directly into our mouse, it was embarrassing for some of the team members.

Immediately I finished, I start doing the same.. serving food to the people seated in the ground, including my colleagues. It was very well accepted for the guest invited and many people was smiling.
