Update #25: Some Images

Dear Reader,

I was able to post a few photos concerning this last entry, number 24, which concerned flooding along the Zambezi River Valley. I hope they show you a bit more of what I was attempting to describe.

[IMPORTANT NOTE: These images were taken for you, Reader, to better understand the reality of life where I am living. This is not intended to make you feel one way or another, simply to inform.]

Some images:

Before: this is the Elementary School's field where the kids learn how to grow crops, near a small river connected to the Zambezi River.

During Flooding: This is the same mango tree, that water is where the field used to be.

Before: This is a plant nursery next to the Elementary School,

that last table will appear in the next photo.

During Flooding: The water had reached as high up as those first few tables.

A few more images of the flooding:

Look at the tree in the lower right part of this photo, the water level will then be perhaps put into perspective. Unfortunately, this entire area used to be corn and sweet potatoes.

That same location, a man in a dugout canoe where there normally

are people's family plots of land in which they grow vegetables.

The queue to cross the river, big trucks like these are now waiting up to 5 days in line to get on the ferry to cross the river. See previous entry for more information about these trucks and their drivers in regards to HIV.

I'm hoping you are doing well.

PEACE (of mind)

Kevin
