Camping in the Village

We just returned from three days in the Zirobwe village. What a great time I had! We normally go to the village on Sundays for the day, but staying for the overnights is a deeper experience. 

The kids get so excited when they see the vans pull up. A sea of kiddos run towards us screaming "muzungu! Muzungu!" (white person) as they are so anxious to play. We usually get most of the children in the village to come to the programs we run.

I got the chance to walk to many villager's homes and talk with them for a bit. They are so welcoming! They see it as an honor to have us in their homes (I think its the other way around). Their homes are literally made out of mud and very small. I cant imagine how they fit 5-10 people in them. Most family's possessions are just pots for outdoor cooking, a small rug, and usually a goat or chicken.
