This week is all things Bodi! This tribe is known for one of their most important ceremonies, the Ka’el ceremony. This time is important for the men of the group to gorge themselves on cows milk and blood to fatten up as much as possible. The fattest man is deemed the winner and treated as a hero for the rest of their lives!
