Summer has arrived in South Greenland, and throughout June, the residents of the nursing home in Nanortalik have been busy preparing their winter supplies.
Together, they have processed two clams and made the shells. With guidance, the residents helped each other cut out the clam meat and set the shells out to dry.
-The residents wanted to prepare a winter supply of reindeer meat and reindeer jerky, so we procured the ingredients. They’ve been helping each other cut up the reindeer meat, prepare the dried meat, trim off the fat, and hang the jerky to dry. “It has been a great joy to see how they work together and enjoy the work,” says Dorthe Semsen Johansen, director of the nursing home in Nanortalik.
Later this summer, some of the residents also plan to make dried fish as part of their winter supplies.
