Village Life


I thought I'd post a brief update today! I spent all day yesterday at a village just outside Dodoma, which was a very interesting experience. I was aware of some things, but not others, and so I found that the villagers are very spread out across the land and have "complexes" which are their own bits of land with their house and a places to keep livestock. Many people live together in one complex, and men in the village have more than one wife. There were many many children all over the place! It is a stark contrast to the UK, as these people have built their own houses, and what you see is what you get. They were grateful for our visit and incredibly welcoming, and also asked if people back home could pray for them. There are many Christians in the village and a few people met us at the Anglican church. They send their greetings to the UK. I thought I would post a picture of the children waving to you!

Please do remember these people in your prayers, as they serve to remind us that many people in the world live in poverty and struggle to survive with the smallest amount of resources.

Thank you

Emily
