Not able to use computers much, but now we are back in Same after being at Mbakwene and nearby towns for the past week.
Thursday we visited a hospital in Bombo, and were able to view the good work there with HIV/Aids prvention, and . Heard about the palliative care project and had tour of the hospital. Otherwise, the past few days at Mbakwene were great- I stayed in a house w/ solar panels, so I had electricity, so I can charge the cameras. The church service was amazing and were greeted by the choir on our first day-- people are warm wonderful. Singing is such a vital part of their services. We were able get some audio and video and will share when we return. The have bascis needs met, but no income for much else. Lots of needs at the church structure; also water, books for schools, as well as needing a way to generate income.
Been eating lots of great fruit- fresh pineapple, sugarcane, mangoes, bananas, etc, as well as cassava, and potatoes and rice.
On Monday, we wnet on a hike @ 2 miles up the mountian to a cultural tourist area under construction, and then next day to elementary school and high school. We have some pen pal possibilities also.
Am getting in good shape with all the walking! Perfect weather @ 80-85 and cool at nite. Very rough roads to drive from town to town.
Am done with our stay at Mbakwene- sad to leave our friends there. Tomorrow, we will worship at Same Lutheran Cathedral and then travel to Arusah.
So much more to say!! Had to post pics with slow connections...
