Pictures April 2013

Dad tries his hand at pounding cassava in a traditional mortar and pestle ("iyanda") while he stays at the village.

 Gina and the village girls show off sweeties they got for helping to carry water.

 We cross this rickety bridge once or twice per week to get to Mwinilunga for supplies.

 Dad and Gina's luxury safari tent at Chobe National Park.

 Touring Chikumbuso in Lusaka.  It's a great organization that helps widows and disadvantaged women.

 This elephant in Chobe was in action looking for some women!

 The lions weren't quite as active, but we did see the momma later in the afternoon get into a spat with a cape buffalo defending its territory.

 They have a warning to stay away from the baboons at Victoria falls!

Dad peers to get a look at the falls on the bridge to Zimbabwe.

 Amama Annie shows how to properly wash hands before eating nshima.

 Nshima comes in white lumps served with greens, beans and fried vegetables.  Note this is a typical urban meal and not what we eat in the village.

 Scott teaches future fish farming volunteers about permagardening.

 The Mwinilunga "fueling station" consists of defunct pumps and fuel of questionable quality that is highly marked up and poured from plastic containers directly into the vehicles.

 My friends who sell me cat food at the Mwinilunga fish market.  I'm standing behind the stacks of dried kapenta.

Dad plays with our cat Badger inside our utilitarian hut.
