Mula...What's a Mula?

One may think Mula is an English term referring to money. You know, "Gimme some mula, I want to buy a candy bar."

Well, the word Mula in this culture refers to a person in charge of a tribe or village of people. If you want something, you typically need the Mula's permission for it.

In order for us to distribute anything for this relief effort into a community (ultimately to do development work instead of relief), we have to talk to the Mula in the specific area there first.

More later....

So, since I enjoy collecting foreign money it is probably a good thing I did not ask you to bring me back some Mula? He would probably not fit well in the overhead compartment!
