I can't believe it has almost been a year! I still have to remind myself when signing my name sometimes! Danny and I are still putting together all the photos from the wedding and honeymoon. He recently put together a DVD of photos set to music. It is wonderful, very professional looking.
Here these boys carry 3 or 4 water jugs back home. This is the primary chore for the children. They get water in the mornings and afternoons. Some have to walk 1 mile to the shallow well. These boys are blessed to have the bike to tie the jugs to, most have to carry 2 at a time. The jugs are 5 gallons = 40lbs each! Can you imagine. I tried to carry one, just one, and I could barely lift it. These are small children doing this work.
These school children look through the door at the "Monzungos", white skins, who were visiting. They were perfectly quiet and just stared at us. Some of them had never seen white skins before. We scared plenty of babies on this trip, they think we are ghosts! This is one of my favorite pictures.
In Kassangombe, the children use whatever they can find to cover their heads when it is raining. Here these children walk to school with plastic covering them. They didn't even have shoes. Some walked with no shoes, no jacket, no covering.
