We attended two parades this week- one Monday to celebrate Women’s Day and then one Friday, to celebrate Youth Day. Students from all the schools here in the area marched to the beat of huge drums and performed songs and dances, and a Lozi man dressed in traditional Lozi clothing performed a song about the history of the Lozi people. It was wonderful!! We loved experiencing the culture up close and personal!
Here are some additional pics of life in Sesheke.

The local police station.
The Sesheke Post Office or at least as it used to be.
The new and improved Sesheke Post Office.

The only gas station in town but it also serves as a location marker when people ask where we live. When we are asked we answer, "Lui na kwa mulouho wa Vuma." (We live behind the Vuma)
The road to our house.

ReplyDeletePraying for your travel to go smoothly to S Africa and back and that your meetings and visits are fruitful. Have fun in the big city!

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the picture of Isabelle, I knew that cat before reading your story of adopting her from the GH. She was such a good cat for us during our time as GH managers, and our kids loved her so much. It is so good to see her in a good home and taken care of. She is good at catching rats too, and will probably bring them to you to show off her prize. Don't be surprised if she brings you a snake as well!
