Special Village Visit












This morning John, Sarah, Gus, Sami, Eileen and I went to visit the village pastor and his wife and the village chairman. Our purpose was to greet them and present the simple gifts we brought for them. For the pastor a collared shirt, for his wife a shirt and jewelry made by Jeni Guckenberger, for the village chairman a collared shirt and a baseball cap which he wears daily. The photos are of pastor and wife, Eileen with a village child, nephew of the pastor, construction on the Chairman's property with childen carrying the blocks on their head as helpers and a photo of the chairman. He inbvited us into his home for a brief visit, showed us the starting of tomato seedlings in the reed covered bed. His tomato crop will be planted in the coming weeks with harvesting in May and June to the local markets.
