Frog Farming

 After the English Camps in the South, another house we visited was that of another 14 year old, year 8 girl.  This girl had tidied her house and prepared food for us to eat.  Her mother was out working, her father had died some years earlier, so she hosted us by herself.'

She took us on a tour of her family business, a frog farm in the back yard.  I have truly never seen so many frogs in one place before.  There were literally thousands of them!  All separated into tanks according to their maturity.  Eggs in one, tadpoles in another, right up to the large frogs ready to be sold to the local restaurants.  If the family kills and skins the frogs, preparing them for the restaurant, they can get about $5 a kilo for these frogs.  A good income for this small family.

Just Loving getting to know people!
