It’s the first weekend in September and I welcomed a friend
from the city to come visit rural life at my site in southern Mozambique. Unfortunately,
the first hot days of the summer season came as well. We spent the morning touring the hospital, schools,
and the main street and then we took a ride out to the “mata” – the bush.
The pictures below narrate the settings just 10 miles / 22
kilometers from the main village. The smiles overcome the dry, hot, dusty
roads, hoping that the 2 year drought will be broken and the gardens will
produce essential food.
