Photos from Mozambique

My neighbour making shima - a popular Mozambican

dish made from maize.

One very cute host brother.
During a host family visit, I couldn't resist but take a photo!

Outside of the traditional church I went to with my

host mother in the host community in Mozambique.

The church congregation singing and dancing

in the rain after the 2 hr service which got cut short due to

the rain leeking into the church. But that didnt seem to stop them

from celebrating. It was really amazing to witness!

The trail to my host family's house in Manhica.

I used it every day to get to and from the town centre

and would always be greeted along my way.

My bedroom in my host family's house. I was pretty

impressed with what i got. My host mother,

Maezinha, was constantly upgrading my room in a

variety of ways (she brought me curtains, a radio,

a door, a light, etc.)I shared the small house with

only my host great grandmother. I felt pretty

lucky- they were a wondeful family.

My romatic outdoor toliet/washroom that I spoke about

earlier. This photo was taken the night I arrived.

It was quite an humbling experience!

Me at the top of the church tower. We climbed

it one day when we volunteered to clean the Catholic Church.

The view of Manhica, the host community,

from the top of the church tower.

I havent posted any photos in a long time, so I decided now that I am home with a speedy internet connection-that is free- I would have no excuse not to post some new photos of my experiences and moments in Southern Africa. Enjoy!
