A blessing

We went to visit a soap manufacturer in the market and this little girl was playing outside. When we came out, she was giggling and I asked what it was about. "Did she think the white man was funny?" Humila told me "She wants to touch your head" Apparently, this is a traditional greeting for young children blessing their Grandfathers.
