They are clearly isolated from neighboring regions, with Bassaw seeming frozen in time! Visit to the village of Bassaw. Upon arrival at a farmer's house, we will be welcomed into his home and will have the opportunity to ask any questions we may have, particularly about the education of girls living on the island. (Perhaps an opportunity to prepare our local solar bread for dinner.)
