Edwil Kaising caring for his daughter. Men did a lot of child care both in 1971 and during the 1981 visit. This was surprising to us because fathers were much more involved than their American contemporaries were at those times. Around two years of age, children were given dull machetes that they will need to be able to use shortly during necessary regular activities of the family and village community.
