village where Muumbe's father lives. The trip was only 30 miles but
took over 2 hours to travel due to poor road conditions and required 4
wheel drive. This is the school that we are helping to build.
There are 460 children attending grades 1-8. There are currently only
3 classrooms, but more are in the process of being built. They meet at
different times and sit outside under a tree to accomodate the number
of children. It is inspiring to see this focus on education in a
village setting with no electricity.
We drove across the road to where the village is located and were
served a delicious traditional lunch.
We then drove back the 30 mile 2 hour drive then an additional 40 or
50 miles (2.5 hour drive) to Alfred's village. It was dark when we
arrived and we went to our accomodations to eat dinner and get some
rest.
