When we travel the typical way, spending a few days here and a few days there, at best we see the superficial. A day is only so long and there is only so much one can see and do in that period of time. Therefore, if a deeper understanding of an area is wanted, you have to do slow travel. I am lucky enough to have employment that allows me to do things like take three months off. This is how I was able to volunteer with Youth Challenge International in Guyana. Being there for three months allowed me to experience Guyanese life, especially life in an Amerindian (Lokono) village. One of the many things I learned while there was how to make coconut oil. I’ve always found it funny how we North Americans pay lots of money for things like coconut oil products when there are others who can make it for free in their own backyards.













Wow, as someone who uses a lot of coconut oil, that was so cool to see! Some day I will have to try making it myself!
Is there any left over coconut after you scoop off that’s edible? How much coconut did it take to make that jar of oil?
nope, nothing but the shell left! and it took 4 coconuts to make that one jar!
