The food habits of the girls in the SIAMA-compound weren't too healthy. While we were dying for some vegetables, the girls would take one piece of lettuce and literally spray it with salt to make it "tasty"!
They also dig sugar! The porrigde - standard meal every evening - almost never was sweet enough! Vistorina was complaining "It's not enough, mum" (The mum is the nanny/governess who lives with the girls. Lisette was the mum upon arrival, Appolonia upon departure) until Lisette finally got so bored with it she almost poured the whole can of sugar into her bowl, after which all the girls eagerly began spooning it up into their own bowls...
Dentist aren't readily available in Omaruru, but jack-of-all-trades Ender pulls teeth the African way when necessary.
