Val's impressions

African children are always eager to pose for a “picha” especially if you let them view themselves on the digital camera screen. They will smile and laugh. I am very partial to the African children. They have the most beautiful smiles! Hannah (posing here on the right) with her brother and a friend lean on a sack of maize or rice outside her home.

This is the home of Hannah and her family. It was the closest place to the church, so we walked past it several times a day. This is also where the cooking of all the meals took place. It is a pretty typical African home in the Sabilo area, constructed mostly from red dirt made into bricks and plaster. The family sleeps inside, but the cooking all takes place on a fire outside. The three mamas who cooked our meals did an excellent job. The food was delicious.
